Best season yet?

The excellent season continues, with crops going really well.

Most recently, we've been eating plums off the tree which we moved from the previous site. We shall also have apples in the near future.

The Worcester berries have been unbelievable and we have frozen lots as well.

Also very productive are:

The potatoes, courgettes, climbing French beans, climbing and conventional peas, cucumbers.  This weekend we also had some cavalo nero and other cabbage for the first time. They were both delicious and it looks like we shall have plenty more to come.

With luck, the sprouts will survive an early attack by caterpillars which somehow, despite netting, seem to have got through.

The squash plants are starting to really get a move on and hopefully we'll have plenty of mature fruits to eat and to store.

The beetroot continue to be delicious and the leeks will be good when they've had a longer period to grown in.

All in all things are looking (and tasting) really good this year!
