I just keep picking those French Climbers.... it's been nonstop demand at home and they are gorgeous.

The runner beans have hardly had a look-in the kitchen and my parents love them too.

Despite growing and planting out several varieties it's the cobra that have come up trumps... long, tender and delicious.

I'm not quite sure how the family will react when eventually the supply dwindles.  :-\

Picked my first Black Sea Man toms today... not a crisp tom as I hoped.. a bit soft   - eaten chilled raw with s&p..
Also picked my first sweetcorn albeit a bit on the small side for supper tonight along with some courgette and leeks in white sauce - in separate dishes of course..

More french beans (they've been brilliant this year) and potatoes (not such a heavy crop as usual but flavoursome)
