Week 37 - Bed 3

The beans that survived the first few weeks, have grown past the top of the supports and are now starting to produce - 13 weeks after sowing.

The Eva variety of french bean has produced a number of long oval pods.

A few of the runner beans are large enough to harvest.

The Genovese courgette plant is growing well and starting to produce fruit 10 weeks after direct seeding.

The fruit on the left still has the flower attached and was (hopefully) pollinated yesterday and will be ready to harvest within a week. The one in the middle with the rotten end was not sufficiently pollinated and has been aborted by the plant. The fruit on the right is just right.

The yellow courgette plant is not doing as well.
