very large and heavy red drumhead cabbages, sauerkraut is now burping away and Delia`s red spicy cabbage is frozen, more to pick and process. Slightly ahead of time, bardsey apples to bottle, too many to wait any longer. Courgettes, cucumber, runner beans moonlight, very good and reliable crop. Swiss chard. beetroot, raspberries. Am picking something every day, didn`t realise there was so much

Emptied 3 x 35 litre containers of Maris pipers, not the biggest spuds ever but not one lost to slugs!👍

Yesterday I picked the last of my courgettes as I decided to kill off the plants, they have cropped so well I have a freezer full of them & they are taking precious water from my butternuts so it was time for them to go. Also picked loads of cucumbers...I have had so many from just one plant this year (the others didn't survive the harsh start to the season even under a plastic sheet). I also killed off the cucumber plant as I needed the bed for something else. Picked some lovely raspberries & my first blackberries from a new plant put in this year. Chard still going strong & purple dwarf beans so picking them today.

Blackberries, first apples (Discovery - pips are mostly brown), Greengages, Victorias and courgette, carrots, beans and cherry tomatoes (Koralik initially was badly blight affected, but now seems to have grown some not blighted fruits). 

I really was in two minds whether to pull the tomatoes altogether, did pull most, but severely pruned the slightly less affected ones.  There won't be a large outdoor tomato harvest, but the cherries (Koralik, Gardener's Delight and Medovaya Kaplya) have stood up to blight better than the beefsteaks.  :wave:
