Grubbed up broad beans and peas from bed B. Both have been a disappointment this year: the beans were late and yield much, they were at their best while we were on holiday (normally they’re pretty much done by then); the peas dried up while we were away. Sowed white clover as a green manure.

Sowed lettuce (tom thumb) and spring onions in the square at the other end of bed B where some French beans failed to grow. Also sowed Chinese broccoli and Indian mustard in bed C where the aubergine and pumpkin are doing nothing.

French beans are in full flow, got 2 or 3lbs of them, Also harvested some potatoes (Anya), onions, a turnip, and a large courgette.
