Change of plan with the harvesting having noticed that one of the kohlrabi had split. I therefore harvested kohlrabi and florence fennel to make a risotto rather than just tomatoes. I haven't managed to finish harvesting the white currants - the bush was far too wet yesterday.
Also removed some of the finished peas.
