I’ve been doing lots of gardening this past week.

I picked 4kg of cucumbers and 1.5kg of green beans today! I’ve made 20 jars of dilly beans and about the same of various cucumber pickles and I’m starting to run out of jars.

The tomatoes, on the other hand, are coming along quite slowly, and so far I’ve only made a few small jars of salsa (as a test batch). I’m hoping the green tomatoes will all ripen soon so I get enough to bottle (as well as us eating as many as we can).

Otherwise, the popcorn is starting to cure on the plants, the sweet corn is starting to swell, the carrots are picking nicely, the zucchini continues to produce steadily and we’ve more leafy greens than anyone could possibly need, thanks to a me forgetting to thin them properly!

The pumpkins are spreading widely around but so far I’ve only seen a few maturing pumpkins.
