Courgettes, French Beans, Raspberries & Tomatoes

I had a great time in the garden today. It's the first time in ages, and I had as my objective the clearing of our courgette and french bean beds, which would enable me to tie up the raspberries better, and allow more sun to redden the very green tomatoes.

It's the first year we've grown our tomatoes outside, rather than in the green house, and it's been a great success. For the record, I'd call myself a sceptical environmentalist, but all the same, I never use to think that growing tomatoes outdoors in the UK was an easy thing to do. I do now.
