Beans and Pickled Onions

Two Runner Bean varieties, White Lady on the left and an unknown, probably Painted Lady due to its red and white flowers, on the right. Those at the front are the dwarf French Bean, Sungold.

The smallest shallots have been turned into pickled onions. These should be ready for the best meal of the year, Boxing Day cold meats and mashed potatoes.

Pink Fir Apple Potatoes

The three Pink Fir Apple potatoes I planted on 3rd May yielded 2 and 3/4lb. Lots of little ones but I suspect that was mainly due to growing them in a bag and not having regular watering.

First peas harvested, lovely and sweet.
