The beds where new potatoes grew are now full of dwarf french beans for a later crop. Brassicas are planted in succession for winter greens and an early crop next year. Pumpkins can now be seen dotted around gaining weight for the October competition. Tomatoes are ripe and peppers and chillies are on their way.
