The Edible Garden - An Update

I have just enjoyed freshly picked raspberries on my morning muesli, and not for the first time! The raspberry haul is fantastic this year, although access to the canes is a little challenging, so must remember to cut them back at the end of the season to try and keep them under control for next year.
The carrots are growing (very very slowly, it seems) in a pot on the terrace, but have not been nibbled yet, so am hopeful for a small haul sometime in 2010(!)
The tomatoes in the hanging basket are going great guns, about to flower, so tomatoes are go for later in the summer (you see, it helps if the slugs don't eat your seedlings, eh Donna?!)
The 3 year old apple tree is covered in growing apples, so assuming they don't get eaten by anything else, we should get a few in the autumn, and even the newly planted cooking apple tree has one lone fruit on it, so if that makes it to fruition, I'll post a picture of the resultant apple crumble!
That's all the good news, only one major disaster so far, the runner beans, nurtured from seed in the kitchen propagator, carefully hardened off in a pot outside the back door, lovingly planted around a wigwam of bamboos, eaten by snails within 48 hours of planting out *sigh*
Ah well, you can't have everything!
