Well the weather continues to be all too much like a typical English summer, and looking at the Met. Office web site, it isn't likely to improve over the next two weeks. That is a bit depressing as next week, we are going for a short break in Cumbria, still Jay the autistic Spaniel won't complain.
At least we are starting to crop some decent vegetables, the picture shows a few standard courgettes (Zucchini if you live on the wrong side of the Atlantic), a small "Burpless" cucumber and the yellow thing is a new variety of courgette of the type known as "One Ball" Is it possible that this was Hitler's favourite vegetable?
A few days ago we dug up some potatoes, one of the many "Pentland" varieties, from 4 seed potatoes we cropped 15.5 Lbs (approx 7 Kg) and our Broad beans have so far produced about 3 lbs (shelled weight) so at least we can eat for a week.
