Strip at least half the leaves off to help ripening them Andy,but also it stops the plant putting its energy into growing the leaves(just the fruit)

I've been going through our small greenhouse today and removing some more leaves. I like to do it to stop them going mouldy (wet 'n humid down here) but also to give more light to the other things I've crammed into the space.

 

Picked a good few ripe toms and been eating cucumbers for a few weeks now. Chillies and peppers set and just starting to ripen.

Seems like a good year for chillies, mine are very numerous and large already. Though I think they're always a good bet as seem to do well most years. We're picking them already. Even though they're not quite ripe yet, still green, they've got a fair poke of heat.
Picking a handful of toms each day now and almost as many gherkins.

Anyone tried Cucamelons, (Mouse Melons) before? I'm growing them again this year and they're really heavy croppers.

really disappointed with the yield of my first and second early spuds this year all grown in pots not a lot of difference in weight to what i put in to what i got out 

[gary112]

The second earlies are a bit big,never seen new potatoes so big

[gary112]

Good pick from the garden today 

[gary112]

Onions up to dry today 

[sime42]

Good crop there.

You're obviously not bothered by a slight oniony odour on your under-crackers!
