French beans, tomatoes, peppers, a big bag of beans for drying, and the last of my Charlotte potatoes.
I also started digging up my sweet potatoes today. I dug up all five of my purple plants (Erato Violet), and totalled 4.9kg. A little disappointing, really. I've already taken cuttings to grow next year, so I'm hoping I can do a bit better by getting them off to an earlier start (they were bought plants this year, and arrived a week into June as tiny plug plants 2 inches tall).
I also dug up three of nine of my usual white variety (T-65). 7.7kg between the three plants, although most of that was from two of the plants, as the third was one which nearly died in late June and then revived itself, meaning it was a rather weedy plant compared to the others. The weedy plant still gave almost a kilo, though.
I had been hoping for an average of 4kg per plant for the eight good plants, and I'm a bit sort on that so far. We shall see how the others are.

They were grown on a raised bed containing pickled weed roots including couch grass in a layer cake with wood chip and horse manure.
There is a couple more wheelbarrow loads to go. I am in trouble for growing too many of them.

Another wheelbarrow full of turban squashes. The largest one is 15 inches across.
I will put it on the scales in the morning.

Pulled the last of my tomatoes today, a strange year, as I also removed bedding plants which were still in flower, I have never had tomatoes or bedding plants as late as this in the past
