[QUOTE="TeddyTottie, post: 2437282, member: 519030"] In my garden it has not been a stellar year for veg, but my french beans were great earlier in the year and I have another batch just coming into flower so I hope for some more into the autumn. I still have loads of tomatoes despite the blight, plus cucumbers, chillis, peppers and aubergines which should carry on for a bit yet. Courgettes were a bit of a fail but the little Zephyr summer squashes have been great and keep on producing 2 or 3 every other day (seem to be ok for my BG, wasn’t too sure to start with), and I have a single spaghetti squash sitting ripening like a giant green slug. Strawberries suffered from sawfly caterpillars but I’ve had a few and they are still doing their thing. Once the ground has had some more rain I will plant out my fig trees… figs are OK for me too, although it will have to be a good year for them to produce anything edible! I love the convenience of having fresh stuff on tap, so I can have a salad or roast (well, air-fried) veggies, or ingredients for a curry available without prior planning or having stuff languishing in the fridge! To large extent, what is ready to be eaten drives my menus in the summer. [/QUOTE]
