First Harvest

first radish

My son is holding our first harvest on Saturday, which incidentally is from Plot No. 2, a single radish (possibly Short Top Forcing, as OH didn’t make a mental note of the variety (could it be Sparkler instead?)). OH sowed Waverex peas.

Yesterday, I had a sowing session. I managed to salvage 18 Black Magic runner bean seeds from the evil-plastic bag from last week. Also, sowed 10 Kent Blue peas, 80 Prince of Prussia peas, 4 Milan Lettuce as well as French beans:
cocobicolor
24 seeds of Coco Bicolor, a climbing French bean.
magpie
10 seeds of Magpie, a dwarf French bean.
Early Warwick
10 seeds of Early Warwick, a dwarf French bean.

I still have seeds of other French Beans yet to sow - Horsehead, Canadian Wonder, Royal Red, Negritos and Cherokee Trail of Tears.

I didn’t do all the potting on I wanted, but still managed to do: 3 Locoto Rocoto chillis; 3 Szechuan aubergines; 1 Cascabella chillis; 1 Friar’s Hat chillis; 2 Italian Sugar Plum tomatoes; 1 Salt Spring Sunrise tomato; 1 Auntie Madge’s tomato; 2 Riesentomate and 5 Tomatillo.

That’s a lot of beans. I know my family couldn’t eat that many beans. Last night we ate some frozen runner beans I’d had in the freezer since 2006.
