So what has been really good in July?
Carlton and Costoluto Genovese and Fiorentino tomatoes, huge and plump and juicy and tasty, also Moneymaker - tasteless in supermarkets, superb when grown properly!
Latah and Red Cherry tomatoes - prolific and sweet also very early I picked the first ones in early June!
Cucumbers - been a bit too hot for them in the SW corner of the Polytunnel this year...might have to move them in future years or provide a bit of shading /forced ventilation!
The Peppers are now ripening but in July I was harvesting Nardullo and Romano Peppers with Marconi Rossa and Bell peppers huge and green but not yet turning red.
I harvested 40 Kg of tomatoes in July, and we actually ate a quantity which slipped into the house ( and from tere into our tummies!) without being weighed......so many more than that were picked. And I weighed15 Kg during the last 2 weeks of June, again there were more but ...we ate them :-)
