From the plot today.

Hiya Steve.

A fabulous looking harvest there Golden French Beans, never tried those. Do they have any merit over 'regular' French Beans?

Cheers...Freddy.

 

I've no idea at this point Freddy, I've yet to taste/eat them. The variety is "Kentucky wonder wax" a climbing bean and its been a little behind our other dwarf beans in terms of harvest by around a fortnight..first picking today.

Steve...

 

Good haul there Stevie boy

 

Hiya Steve.

So, how were the beans? I noticed you say your are growing Sungella, can you say how they compare to Sungold? Do they still retain that wonderful flavour?

Cheers...Freddy.

 

The beans where/are delightful and I'd recommend them anytime.

The Sungella toms, being a hybrid of Sungold are quite sweet, a little less so than the Sungold with a good balanced acidity for that great tomato flavour.

I'll definately be growing both the Sungella toms and the Kentucky wonder wax beans again next year.

Here is todays haul from the Allotment.




Bottom left to right are 2 x Tondo (Round green courgettes), a handfull of dwarf french beans, then far right are our Climbing beans "Kentucky wonder wax, in the middle is a summer squash (Small Sugar) and middle left are a couple of green courgettes (Zuccini) and a Ridged Courgette (Romanesco Latino). And a great big vasefull of fancy frilly sweet peas (Eagle sweet peas - Fancy collection). And a carrier bag full of Kale (Kapitain) too.

Hi again Steve, a nice mixed bag there

Just one more thing about Sungella, would you say they are big enough to be considered a 'slicing' tomato?

Cheers...Freddy.

 

Well yes and no, the biggest has been about 2 inches which would slice nicely...the rest have been between sungold size and the 2 inches max. But I would slice cherry toms for a sandwich.
