Courgettes have been cropping for two weeks now; there were about six ready this morning. The six cucumber plants are vigorous and robust; only one really has any friut atm — they have just past golf-ball size; I’m waiting for tennis. Tomatoes in the left of greenhouse are wilting; seems to be spreading. The F1s that are outside seem healthier. The toms on right of ghouse seem ok but they are not San Marzano, which is v disappointing. They are some random round variety.
The french beans are starting to crop now.. Dwarf kale looking good, and the fennel is coming on. Beet and beet leaf seedlings pushing up. Loads of marigold in with cucs. Cornflower just coming in to flower. Still have one row of earliea left. Need to plant something in the bed that Nonna and Assunta have prepared. They have also done a fab job of clearing much of the rest of the plot.
