harvests
I was working all last week and didn't get time to go to the garden. On Saturday I found a bunch of scary giant zucchinis! I left 4 of the biggest squashes out for others to take. The good news is they disappeared within a few minutes.
I cannot believe how delicious my potatoes are this year. Last night we grilled then - fantastic.
The cucumber below is a long Sooyow nishiki Asian cucumber and I forgot to photograph it before I sliced it - next time.
What's here: Bennings Green Tint summers squash, Romanesco zucchini, yellow crookneck summer squash, red potatoes, fennel, some small purple onions, a bunch of little red radishes, a head of Chinese cabbage, and two beets: a Chiogga and a Detroit white.

I've been envying your posts and then was surprised yesterday with my very first squash to harvest.... ever! I can't wait to grill it tonight.

MMM! Potatoes! Can't wait to see more of those. We grew our first potatoes this year and from peeking under the soil, they look great. I can't wait!

What kind of flavoring does the Sooyow nishiki Asian cucumber have? I'm always looking to try new ones, in the future.

Fantastic! We have courgettes coming out of our ears! I though of your Mum's "Post them through doors"! It may come to that, I am going to do a courgette and apple cake tonight, if it's good I'll make a few and give them away! Our cucumbers are really slow this year, by this time last year we had loads, oh well that's how it goes.

Everything looks soo good. I do not have cucumbers big enough yet but they are coming. I had some more of my french breakfast redishes which are great but my regular red redishes did not do good as I believe they have too much shade or something. I will try your squash next year, look so good. I have been getting tons of peppers. Did you not plant any this year or they are just slow? I did not intend to have potatoes but will have some due to free crob on my compost pile :p well every garden have their own schedule for veggies I guess. I can not wait to have my cucumbers and tomatoes :]
enjoy your goodies,

My peppers and tomatoes are very slow this year. (I raised the seedlings in my cold frame and they grew slowly in the cool. Next year they will stay inside - or I'll get some heat in the frame.) I do have lots of peppers coming along and big green tomatoes on the vines now - so I am getting the salad bowl ready for next week. =)

What is that in the upper left corner that looks sort of like a white baseball glove?

Those vegetables look amazing. They are all so crisp. Can you please share your secrets on fertilizer?
Thanks
