The insects are really enjoying it. Hopefully the humans are too.

Keep an eye on the vegtables, especially the courgettes. Please pick them – they are best before they turn to marrows. They hide under the leaves, so you need to have a good look.

Keep an eye out for the runner beans and tomatoes, and don’t forget that there are plenty of herbs. The marjoram (or is it oregano?) is plentiful, and goes well in so many recipes. There are thyme, rosemary, chives and fennel too, and probably something I have left off this list.
