  Picked some more french dwarf beans purple teepee. Enough for meals and adding to the freezer. Picked some radishes but lack of rain they aren't any good. Got some yellow courgettes keeping them to the small size!

  @philippasmith2 Autumn King 2
  

  We sow them in the polytunnel because for many years we have had no success with sowing outdoors. We rotate plants in the polytunnel and since we started carrots in there we have had a great harvest. We also continue to sow more as and when we harvest. Just today I sowed 2 more rows where a HUGE courgette plant had been growing (now outdoors).

  Thanks @bertrand-mabel - I've never tried that variety so one to remember I think.

  A few more French Beans and Spring Onions, though the onions are more like shallots in size.
