Although my blackberries will be producing a decent crop again this year, once they are ripe - I've picked about a dozen so far!! 😆🎉🍾

Johnnyco15,
Wish I'd had the harvest which you've had!
I've only got my garden as growing space, but plan on getting an allotment when I have more time and can (hopefully) get an allotment and dedicate time to growing.
2 years, 10 months and counting ...🎉😳

Yesterday I picked the last of my peas, Pak Choi sown straight after them. Also the last of my beetroot, Spinach sown straight away in the empty bed. Lots of cucumbers. A few raspberries & blueberries. Lots of chard. My first corn on the cob which I had for dinner & it was lovely. Chard has been fantastic this year I only sowed a very small amount & it has been feeding me almost daily for months!

I've been picking corn cobs every other day for a week now. The first one is always such a treat

. After that I partially shuck them, roll in cling wrap then fill a freezer bag and fast freeze them.

The first JoanJ are ripening so I will soon have to use up those still in the freezer from last year - raspberry jelly I think!

Nothing, much too hot here in sunny Enfield. Might go up to the allotment tomorrow morning if I get up early as it is going to be even hotter tomorrow. We need some rain.

Hi Tricia I didn't know you could freeze corn that way I will give it a go thank you

figs plums sweet peppers and the usual stuff

Harvested half of my sweetcorn yesterday & froze most of it. I had noticed some mice nibblings on a ripe one & didn't want to lose the crop. The other half aren't quite ready yet so hoping they will still be there to pick after the Bank Holiday weekend as I will be away from home.

Greengages, lettuce, courgettes, tomatoes and chard. And the very last peas and the first runner and French beans.

Most years the greengages arrive just as we go on holiday and are nearly over when we come back, their window is a very short one. As everything is late this year, we are getting them before they split and the wasps are getting to them.

Also picked the very first black berries.

Yesterday afternoon, I picked a couple of cucumbers, some courgettes and cherry tomatoes.

Today I will pick some raspberries and blackberries and then freeze them.

First sweetcorn and it was great!

Runner beans (Moonlight and Scarlet Emperor), French beans (Cobra climbing), courgettes yellow and green, patty pans, a few peas, lettuce, Greek cress, raspberries and blackberries.

Did I mention the sweetcorn?

I could have picked Tuscan Kale, cabbages, mooli radish, Swiss chard and perpetual spinach, turnips, carrots and cucumbers but they will wait a day or so.

Also some sweetcorn.

This is when I know why I have an allotment!
