September Harvest

All of our crops have given us a good yield this year.
.
In June I blogged about the 'Early Crookneck'  Squashes we had grown and they are continuing to provide us with these yellow, courgette-sized fruit.  We will certainly grow more of these next year.
.
This year we grew a yellow variety of courgette called 'Jemmer' and a pale green 'cousa' variety called 'Trieste', which was supposed to be one of the best flavoured... it wasn't and it looked anaemic when used in a salad.  We will be growing a dark-green variety next year.
.
A 'patty pan' variety of courgette, 'Sunburst', is being grown in among the sweetcorn giving a good yield and cucumbers 'Marketmore' are being grown outside, providing us with some nice fruit.
.
Our winter squashes are doing remarkably well and I will write more about them when they are harvested.
