It's a bit sad. Our broad beans and peas are now just about giving up their last and we are now half way through the spuds. The peas (Feltham First), in particular, have been a spectacular success, providing us with a regular veg portion for something like two months now. I'm leaving the rest of them, along with the broads, to fatten up and dry for either winter pulse supplies or next year's seeds.
On the plus side, we're doing OK for courgettes, have a row of gorgeous red chard, a decent amount of carrots, the French beans are just starting to crop (and the runners look like they won't be far behind), there's enough spud left for at the rest of this month, and I'm backfilling the space they leave with pumpkins, the leeks are looking like they'll provide a good winter crop, and I've just sowed a row each of carrots and pak choi. I do need to start some more lettuces, though.
These new raised beds are really making gardening so much easier. I may even add more this winter.
