The first Strawberries

Today I picked our first strawberries, there was only 11 ready but it is a good sign. Everything else if growing well.

The French beans are steadily climbing the poles.
 

The Crystal Lemon cucumbers have taken and are starting to put a spurt of growth on.
 

With the courgettes the first one transplanted out has some small fruit showing.
 

The Pumpkins for Halloween are still a bit subdued but they are not in the sunniest place and are currently surrounded with ornamental poppies.
 

The three Squash plants have settled but they have a long way to go.
 

Swiss Chard is being cut as needed and also cut and frozen when it out grows our need.
 

The tomatoes in baskets were a bit shaken by the winds last week but no broken trusses so they will pick up. The other tomatoes both inside and out are about at the three truss stage. So far, apart from the peas that took a beating from the pigeons everything appears ok.
 

The first Beetroot is nearly ready to harvest.
 

The lettuce are growing very well now they are protected from the ducks.
 

I planted three potatoes that had chitted indoors into each of four containers. The potatoes were normal eating potatoes from ASDA so I don't know what variety they are but they are growing well.
