There are tons more. Lots will go in the freezer and be given away. Much already has been. I put my good health down to the produce I grow and eat. Just had too plums with my coffee! Very sweet this year because of all the sun, I am hoping if this good weather contiues my grapes will be too. I have never seen so many.
Always a pleasure to read Happy Marions contributions! Yes the apples on one of my ancient trees are ready for picking - I only wish |I knew what variety they are - but they keep indefinitely. I will start filling my boot with bags of apples to give away - these old trees produce sufficient for the whole village.
My greenhouse is full of grapes too - will have to do a bit of winemaking, methinks.
I also have a vibrant pot of three bright orange and red begonias - bought cheap, planted late, and flowering their socks off - completely outshine the geraniums which are also abundant this year (and that's after flowering all winter in my unheated lobby.)
I'm glad the foodbank is accepting fresh veg. There must be lots of people who would contribute excess fruit and veg to the food bank, but when I read up on it, it said cans and dried goods only.

Just love this pic Mrs Garden
The star in my garden is the harvest I picked this lot this evening.
Lets hope you can eat all that Marion

Couple of things that are still going well.
Gazania's dont know when to give up.
And the sweet peas climbing up a trellis and the neighbours conifer
The leaves on them are looking fairly sorry for themselves now, but it keeps flowering
This little fella was the star in my garden yesterday. He was on my Zinnias for ages
And my Gertrude Jekyll Rose has started flowering again. What a Fragrance!
Lovely fruit Marion.
Singy what wonderful Gazanias.
Don't blame that butterfly Mattbeer
Verdun you are right- the sun has been a real star this year.
