Traffic lights in the Kale

We have a rogue load of tomatoes growing in the kale bed. Now the kale is looking a little the worse for wear as most of the leaves have been duly lunched upon by various critters, and it also seems to have a bad case of white fly at present. But the toms are doing OK. In fact they are producing some decent vines of fruit. The colour cascade looks like loads of little traffic lights.

Meanwhile, it looks like the poor old courgettes are on their last legs. The leaves are starting to look a little tired and have a covering of mildew.

But they're still churning them out. We're still collecting loads of them for dinners. Soups, stews, grated, baked, or fried. And we expect a few more yet before they finally give up.

We have harvested the two big "George" marrows. These will become our seeds for next year. One will stay in the shed over the winter, the other will sit on top of the cupboards in the kitchen.

Time to start planning next year's bed rotations and crops.
