Eveything is growing like crazy! The courgettes and butternut squash are in and spreading rapidly spreading over their bed. We've got more lettuce than we know what to do with. Cabbages are the sizes of footballs, onions are bigger than tennis balls. Tomato plants are starting to flower. Potatoes and Jerusalem artichokes are forming a veritable forest and will be ready for digging up soon (I've removed the flowers from the potatoes so they will put all their energy into the crop underground).
The haul from this week (which I forgot to take a photo of) was a handful of delicious raspberries, a cabbage, 3 huge onions, 8 large carrots a whole carrier bag ful of broad beans and 2 lettuces (some of the onions, cabbage and carrots went straight into fully home grown coleslaw, it tasted a hundred times better than anything you'll ever buy from a shop!).
