Emma dear - please stop glutting? Adds too much pressure this end!

But I suppose it keeps your idle little fingers busy??

Not a bean in sight here yet.

Give my soul for those Redcurrants!

Tim, those redcurrants are only from the un-netted bush that I let the birdies eat.  They looked so jewel like I had to pick some.  The bushes are weighed down with fruit this year. 

The beans are amazingly abundant, and I love giving my friend and neighbour fresh veg as she only buys tinned or frozen so I have to give her cooking instructions.  She has had courgettes and has made ratatouille, now french beans which she will be serving with roast chook.

Ruud, I whisper sweet nothings to them as I weed around.  They seem to come on in leaps and bounds!  ;)

It's all that good Essex soil - I have the same  'problem' as EJ - will be making courgette cake at the weekend if I can find the recipe! And it's green beans and courgettes [again!!!] with supper tonight.

Wow your fruit looks amazing!  And those beans too, we've not got a single bean here yet either...  ::)
