The courgette plants are enormous and have produced marrows since I last looked...must be all the rain. I hope they don't stop producing courgettes now.
The Purple Sprouting & black kale plants seem to be doing ok...
The beans are battered but still clinging to the string (mostly).
And this area needs a weed pretty quickly! Still it doesn't have to be ready for the new (to me) greenhouse 'til Sept/Oct time.

Everything looks to be thriving so you don't have to worry. Have you any beans coming?
There were 4 siskin in the garden at 8 am today! Lovely.
Terrifying how quickly courgettes turn into marrows!

My courgettes are just beginning - isn't it wonderful when you first eat them before you get the glut
Yes, it is - but I love the glut.
I have a fab unusual courgette recipe - Claudia Roden. It might sound a bit odd but it really is good & you can have it hot or cold. We have it hot with a main meal and cold as a chunky dip.
Boil 2lbs courgettes in 1.25 pts of chicken stock till soft. Strain. mash the courgettes roughly. Fry 2 chopped onions in olive oil until golden. Add 4 crushed garlic cloves & stir till it colours. Add the mashed courgettes, 2 tablespoons of crushed mint (from the garden/allotment of course!), salt & pepper & cook, stirring for 5 mins. At this point you could freeze it. I add in nearly a pint of Greek yoghurt while it's cooling and then we eat it...I love it hot or cold. And the leftover chicken stock has a slight greenish colour but is great in gravy. Claudia says she drinks it. I've been tempted...
