It's great to have the first of the cauliflower in this week! It's been great to grow and tastes lovely! We're looking forward to hearing the feedback from it. There's also some chard that's in for the first time for some more leafy greens.

We managed to get a nice crop of beans this week due to the recent decent weather but it's probably going to be the last of them as there's a definitely chill in the air now! The rocket was looking great in the polytunnel, it's a lovely peppery addition for this week. We have more wrapped up under fleece in the outside beds for cutting in the coming weeks all being well.

We have the first of the Pak Choi in this week which is looking great! It's probably the best it's ever been as usually the slugs like to sample it but no such problems this year. Maybe the the dry summer has had an affect on the slugs, we're not sure but we're very much looking forward to adding it to stir fry's and an Asian inspired salad with shredded red cabbage!

It's that time of year to pick the squash for storage. This helps them cure and develop a sweeter flavour. The harvest has been pretty good this year although some are definitely smaller than usual. We're putting it down to the long spells of dry weather. Still looking forward to cracking them open and getting some tasty curries and soups on the go!

You can definitely tell that we're moving into autumn by the contents of this weeks bag with the root veg coming to the fore! Sadly this will be the last week of the tomatoes, they'll definitely be missed! Still plenty of lovely veg to come and we've got some great East Lothian produce accompanying it in the form of Pressmennan Farm eggs and Portobello Apple Juice. .

Some lovely tasting red cabbage from Chapel Organics in the bags this week and we have our cucumbers back in plus some sweet peppers from the greenhouse.

You know it's getting into autumn when you begin to get less of the warm weather veggies in favour of those that are considered traditionally 'British'. However, the tomatoes are still hanging on in there and the weather forecast for the next week should help them along for at least another week. Some lovely fresh celery in this week along with potatoes.

New in this week we have carrots and red onions. You can definitely see the change in weather showing in the plants. Growth has slowed up along with ripening of things like tomatoes this isn't entirely surprising given that September is next week! We've started to get some of the winter greens in the ground so hears hoping for a good start to Autumn!

The celery is has been slowly coming on and is looking small but good after all the topsy turvy weather we've had. It's probably got another month left to grow so will be a nice bit of freshness for autumn. I didn't use to like celery but definitely a convert since we started growing it a few years ago.

The sweetcorn is also looking good and it's been quite exciting watching it grow and form the cobs! Just need to keep an eye on it now to see when they are ripe and ready for picking. We planted squash with them for an extra crop and to help smother any weeds. This is a Native American technique that has been used for centuries. Usually climbing beans are also grown alongside and the combination is known as 'Three Sisters'.
