These tomatoes in the raised bed are growing fast.

My other garden has been taken over by blackberry plants that are up to 12 feet tall!

The main veg plot. Next planting over the weekend. Decent crop of French beans, Flat beans, Courgettes and Spinach this year. Onions were not all that. Tomatoes were a disaster.

Looking good. I imagine the weather has saved you a lot of time watering it - or are you more laissez-faire when it comes to watering? Some years I can be bothered, others I can't

I haven't done much at all in the main veg garden for a few years. I did what was needed a few years ago, deep dig one metre, leveled it and put up the wall for the herb border and barrowed in a couple of hundred loads of compost.
Nobody was interested in growing stuff for a few years and I grow my veg elsewhere.
Back when I was doing it, I used to water it.
The problem was and still is, when it's taken care of it produces so much that to make proper use of it one needs a method of storing and preserving what isn't eaten during the growing season. That didn't happen.

Good afternoon Cafe.
Coffee is made. Still no tea unless you fancy green tea.
Cloudy with the possibility of storms here. Warm enough though.
Catalonia is heading for further lockdowns.
People have not come to accept the reality that Covid is not going to go away and adjusteded their behaviour accordingly.

It's fairly easy to grow food, but, yes, the storing of it takes a LOT of work.... and space.
