Closer and closer to harvest time

We've been already enjoying the sugarsnaps, spinach and the rocket - and the strawberries and raspberries didn't last long en route from plant to mouth. 

We're just waiting for the tomatoes and the runnerbeans.

The Boy does a daily tally and breaking news flash for me - today there were 39 incipient tomatoes on the vine: we're trying Costoluto Fiorentino this year, strange beasts, ridged and squat like a squash, as you can see.


Also, we have an abudance of plums, which in previous years have dropped off long before now, so fingers crossed.


The runners are looking gorgeous, but no beans in sight yet. Closer and closer to harvest time, very exciting!
