well i've got an allotment and had some good successes this year as well as some under sized onions. Guess the veg that like the rain did best. I know Welsh Harrier grows quite a bit too as well as some other forumites. My garden at home isn't so great mind

[Wheeze]

My herbs came on a treat.

I've had potatoes(lots), Peas, Strawberries(not enough), Raspberries ( a few, first year I've tried them), Tomatoes(again not enough) I've heard it's been a bad year for toms, Squash only a few as these rotted as the ground was too wet, No peaches as the blossom was knocked off the tree by the early heavy rain. Grapes in the conservatory!! only a few and very bitter. lots of herbs.

I'm sure this list is crying out for a swoopism....

The Missus is in charge, but not a great year, no sun to encourage insects to pollinate and too much wet. I just eat the stuff .

But I have clocked up 200+ courgettes this year, even had to give some away . This year I counted them.

Runner beans I'm still picking, but probably 1/3 the normal bumper crop. Broad beans, ok I guess, some in the freezer but not great. Peas - bumper year, best ever. Spinach, always a disaster, no change to normal. Strawberries a disaster, good crop but all gone mouldy in the wet. All the winter greens look fantastic for later. Only do a few spuds, but they were ok, dug before the blight and rot had them.

Probably other stuff up there, the Missus will give a full rundown when she returns end of the week.

Bear in mind we are 800ft up a wet Welsh mountain.

No leeks Moley!!

Try putting your strawberries in hanging baskets, lots of drainage so they don't rot and it keeps the slugs off.

we grew lots of spuds in buckets this year, works really well, easy to harvest and you don't miss any.
