    You are well ahead of my Allotment,  my courgettes are a miserable failure this year. I am just picking  some of the late sown Broad beans  French and Runner beans yet to produce anything.  I am digging first early potatoes,  and  some pointed Cabbage are nearly ready, had lots of raspberries but finished now, Plums have just started as have greenhouse tomatoes.  Always get something,  just not always what we expect.  Plants seem to have their own timetable this year. 
    Well done to you.

    Yesterday's harvest. It's similar like last one, but it's the season for beans, courggetes, chard and few other things. My tomatoes are quite behind this year, so I can expect first fruits in two weeks. We had quite a lot of rain last few days, and I don't need to water at least next five or six days.



    One of my pumpkins. I forgot which variety it is.

    Ante, you have done so well despite the heat. Great return on your onions. You have always done well with those haven't you?
    I love the line of sunflowers - standing like sentinels guarding your field. Do you support them Ante or are they free standing?

    Well done @Ante1   Great growing season.  Been erratic down here but what has grown seems okey.    

    Is school back for you too on the 4th?
    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

    LB, those are only red onions, and as you know, I also planted 10kg yellow ones. Next week is harvest. 😁 Sunflowers are all free standing, over 2m high, and wind didn't brake any of them. I love sunflower scent. 

    Thank you @tui34. Students will be back at 4th. We started last Monday. It's just preparations and paperwork, but it's officially on. If you need courgettes just say. I can send them to France.😂

    That is me decided then Ante. I will have to grow sunflowers next year. They are stunning and I could leave the seed heads for the birds (saving a few of course) during the winter.
