Autumn Fruit

Autumn Bliss raspberries just keep on going. Not a huge crop, but half of the canes are only just getting established. Even so, 1-2 dessert bowlfuls a week since the beginning of August is not bad.

Allotment Raspberries

Runner beans "Scarlet Emperor" are just about finished now. Very successful crop, was forced to take the surplus into work, and have loads in the freezer.

Sweetcorn "Swift" produced mixed results: Out of 18 plants that survived to maturity, only about 10 good cobs - but they were exceedingly good! The rest seemed to give up when the cobs were still small and partially formed. We found a good use for them!

More to follow, but my camera phone is broken so you have to wait until the films are scanned and uploaded!
