I'm back from my travels (one week holiday in Sweden - exceptionally nice, one week work in USA - not so nice) and my very first priority was to visit the lottie and see whats happened since I've been away. Heard you had really hot weather, so I was relieved to see Claire and Nick have done a really good job of watering the potting shed.
When I left there were no courgettes - today I've picked about 10 marrow sized ones. My artichokes have suddenly sprouted three heads. My sweetcorn now has tassels hanging down and I have a few baby squashes and about 7 pumpkins. My second earlies look to be ready to be harvested (all yellow / foliage dieing back. Tomatoes have gone bonkers - I had to fight my way into the potting shed ...have decided to relocate some of the aubergines outside to give a little more room inside.
The plot looks really out of control - I spent a few hours pulling up weeds and removing the beans and peas before going home to sort out my washing ! Cannot believe how much can happen in 2 weeks .. am a little overwhelmed and in need of a recipe for courgette / marrow soup !
