Shoots and leaves...
The whims and woes, highs and lows, of trying to grow fruit and veg in Nordic latitudes.
The runner beans are coming thick and fast now. I found that I can string them with a potato peeler very easily so have chopped them, blanched them and put them in the freezer in very small batches because I will be the only one to eat them!
Also picked a couple of kilos of tomatoes and 6 or 7 cucumbers, some more gherkins and lettuces. We have put straw under all the big pumpkins and turned them over where it was possible. We removed most of the leaves and we will water them slightly less now as we really just want them to ripen. Counted about 30 big "cinderella" pumpkins and maybe 60 or 70 butternut squash.
