A Nice Little Harvest


A great little harvest from the allotment today, and it looks like a sea of tomatoes are on their way as long as the blight holds off.

Another crop of climbing French beans harvested and the larger ones left on the climbing frame greenhouse to go more to seed to supply me with Lazy Housewife seeds for next year.
Harvested the last cucumber and another harvest of red and All Gold Raspberries taken home today.
Onions from the draying rack taken home today as well.

I also did some digging and weeding of the beds in the climbing frame greenhouse, and also removed the Lazy Housewife and cucumber that were climbing the Climbing Frame Greenhouse and they went into the Hotbin to feed my worms.


The red and orange tomatoes that are only just turning as these photos were taken after harvesting the ripe ones. 


Lots of tomatoes to come


Merrygold F1, Blight Resistant Orange Tomato
Tomato 'Crimson Crush' - The fruits are particularly large for a salad variety, with an exceptional flavour.
Tomato 'Crimson Plum' - Good crops of ‘Roma’ style plum tomatoes throughout the summer.
Tomato 'Crimson Cherry' - The small cherry fruits have glossy, red skins and a sweet, juicy flesh with a superb flavour.
Tomato 'Crimson Blush' - Large beefsteak fruits with the sweet flavour of a cherry Tomato!
Tomato 'Crimson Cocktail' - small cocktail-sized fruit with an excellent flavour that has a good balance of sweetness and acidity.


There were a couple of nearly ripe tomatoes in the foliage, but my tin foil tray was full for the day


Onion on the drying rack, 12 taken home for my daughter Emma.


Organdi Dwarf French Beans germination, all from the same packet I was hoping to see more than this, by now.


Germination of the Red Frills mustard looking good.


Disappointing germination of the Rocket and Artic King lettuce
