Looks like your broad beans are far better than mine this year - I was lucky to find 4 beans in each of the pods I picked. I suppose they are loving your cool, wet weather better than our hot, dry days!<br /><br />That is such a great yield for 2 potato tubers...and they are lovely to boot. Even though we often find the "perfect" variety, there are so many veg where we just can't help but branch out and grow a few different ones.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-59108173011054248412016-07-12T12:29:11.182+01:002016-07-12T12:29:11.182+01:00Gorgeous potatoes, peas, and carrots.

Fresh peas and broad beans are just a memory in my garden now. But I'm still enjoying carrots and cabbage, it's so nice that they keep will in the fridge. That kale sure is pretty and your potatoes are perfect, as usual, such a treat to see.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-41551269101225568302016-07-11T20:33:52.364+01:002016-07-11T20:33:52.364+01:00I try to update my blog, so you can find some of i...I try to update my blog, so you can find some of it here - https://veenachimes.blogspot.com/<br />I still have a long way to go to get consistent results.

I've just read your comment on Sue's blog about growing onions and remember that you said you wouldn't give the space to them in the garden, does this mean that a decision has been made about the allotment? I love kale and have been meaning to give kale crisps a go for some time now but still haven't got round to it.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-46386041163005737982016-07-11T13:21:48.507+01:002016-07-11T13:21:48.507+01:00That is quite a harvest week!
