I think I need a bigger freezer. Five big punnets of redcurrants cropped to add to last week's punnet - just from early/mid bushes. Late bush still very green, with blackcurrants and gooseberries getting close. Blackberry rambler splattered with flowers so expecting a good crop from them too.
First IK potatoes eaten last week, couple of wire worm holes so will need to crop rest pretty soon. The kiss of frost burn suffered in late May doesn't seem to have caused any serious damage and foilage is now very healthy looking.
Fruit aside, this year has been far too cold and wet - and even in today's rare warmth still windy (the bbc are in for a shock when they move up to Manchester!). The majority of veg are looking like they will be poor crops. Beans and corn suffering very badly, and I doubt corn will even flower before first frost nevermind develop cobs. Brassicas have been disappointing so far but suspect the later bunch will do well.
