Harvests are on the way in the greenhouse. Cucumbers are already coming thick and fast. Tomatoes are just beginning to ripen. Chillies will soon be ready to pick. Aubergines and peppers are fruiting up well.
We have toyed with the idea of a polytunnel for the much bigger protected growing space under cover, not least from pigeons which cause havoc for some of the outdoor crops here. However, we remain content with our 16' x 8' greenhouse which has crops growing in it all year round. Here's a photographic survey for early July.

| A row of Sungold tomatoes with basil at their feet. We use a lot of basil for when making passata. |

| Cucumbers cropping well already. This is Femspot F1. I have some late sown plants ready for when these run out of steam later. |
 |
| Aubergines planted in the greenhouse border. |

| Aubergines in pots |
 |
| Chilli peppers. This one is Hungarian Hot Wax (mild). To the right is Hot Mexican (fiery). They will eventually turn red. |
 |
| Sungold, nearly there. |
 |
| Matina tomatoes. |
 |
| Lettuce planted in the border trying to escape pigeon damage. |
