Beans again! Make the most of the fruit and veg bursting at this time of year

Fruit and vegetables are bursting forth. Valerie O’Connor looks at the ways to make the most of this time of year    

IT’S Christmas every day in the garden right now, even though the weather is wildly erratic (what’s new?), it’s perfect for growing as the crops get the living daylights watered out of them at night and sometimes during the day and then there’s plenty of blasts of sunshine too.

As a newbie to growing in a glasshouse, I’m spoiled rotten and want for nothing except a few things to go with the veggies and fruits that are bursting forth — from figs to tomatoes and the endless profusion of greens. I think I’ve over charded though, so need a break from that.
