September ?autumn

Well it may not be quite autumn technically but it is by weather, it has rained most days for the last 2 weeks, very sad for September.
Today I have cut back the beans but they have been producing regularly up to now. The last sowing of Spring onions are almost at an edible size, which just goes to show that I sowed them too late. I need to be a bit quicker next year but I was lulled by the enormous Spring onions that I had. In fact I sowed too many too close together, I am just finishing the last of them and I have nearly finished the lettuce. I will have a few more salads but I no longer need to eat salad every day. The tomatoes are ripening well now though they are late, I still hope to get enough to make some soup and I have frozen a few but it is only because of the Cherry tomatoes that I have had plenty to eat for the last 4 weeks, and the Cherry tomatoes that is doing really well is one that self seeded!
The courgette is still going slowly but surely, very slowly. It is producing lots of flowers but they are nearly all male so not much good! My peppers are probably the best I have had so I will continue with Ourense and Anoia peppers, they seem to be the right ones.
I am still getting regular raspberries and all the plants have flowers on them, this is a bit disconcerting as the majority should be spring cropping and on the previous years shoots, I am wondering if they have somehow trans mutated and that this is a feature of Spanish raspberries! Maybe I should write a paper for a botanical journal :) The time to tell will be Spring next year, will I have any raspberries?
I now have my first pears and I have picked all the apples, the apples are tiny and are badly scarred but they are very tasty.
My neighbours have dug their onions this week, they are all enormous, I think I should be more patient, next year I will dig them at the end of September, or the beginning of Autumn.
I have had a visit from a deer, or 'deers', they have eaten the leaves of my vines and my raspberries, I have to find a way of securing my top plot.
Next year I will look at growing a cucumber, I will look out for a plant in the Spring, otherwise everything has done pretty well.
