Great collection of veggies, Jill. They all look fantastic and it must be very satisfying knowing you have grown them all yourself.  Someoone is going to have a flavoursome tea tonight.   :) busy_lizzie

Good crop there Jill. You must be feeling very smug  ;D  Those little round courgettes look beautiful, and tasty too I hope  :)  I went to my plot last night to get an onion for my squash soup and there was not a soul about so pottered about a bit.  Found yet more zeppelin sized courgettes  :o

ooooooooo, I must grow those round courgettes next year,they look fab Jill!  And if you wanna match me, you had better loose the lovely runners as mine were mostly munched by the voles, so have had about a dozen beans in all, and my sweetpeas were given to me by old Jack!

Looks a fabulous harvest Jill, bet you are right proud!

Ta peeps.  :-[  The round courgettes are very tasty as long as you catch them fairly small - between golf and tennis ball I find is best.   They've been really prolific too. Just wondering what to do with the large grapefruit sized one that I also found this morning.  Been dead lucky with the runners.  Just grew one wigwam, eight plants, and have had 3 carrier bag loads.

But biggest excitement of the day - my aub plant has an aub on it :D  ;D :D.  Heading off on holiday to Wales for the week but can't wait to see what it looks like when I get back.  Hope you all have a good week.
