How is all your veg doing?

First year with a veggie patch and pleased that most of my efforts have produced something!

Onions - problem with bolting on half of them - learned a lesson there and will use heat treated sets or seeds next year.

Beetroot - such an easy crop and so versatile will definitely grow more next year.

Peas - great although my grandaughter, a budding Alys Fowler, was eating the pods before the peas had a chance to grow!

Runner beans - superb - I wish I'd grown twice as many

Carrots - good crop - will grow more next year

Parsnips - growing well yet to harvest

Spring Onions - lovely

Rhubarb - new plant died on me. In the market for another one...

Tomatoes - taking their time to ripen but a good crop. Outside plants are doing as well as those in the greenhouse.

Peppers - plenty of leaves and height but fruit in short supply

Strawberries - eaten by mice (?) or maybe blackbirds even though they were netted. Invested in strawberry planters for next year.

Blackcurrants - no fruit but lots of healthy looking leaves

Gooseberries - as above but new plants so hoping for fruit next year

New apple, pear, cherry and plum trees (second year) all growing well and healthy. Six apples and three plums.

Raspberries (Autumn Bliss) doing well and fruiting too although only planted this year.

Herbs - brilliant but they've been around several years.

As a sum up - I've had a great season, am much healthier for the additional exercise and so grateful to all the gardeners on this forum for the advice, inspiration and encouragement. Lots of lessons learned and mistakes made but I've certainly made friends with my little corner of the Earth.

In general, not too bad

Carrots, good crop of earlies, maincrop in now(late I know)

Beans, (Runner and climbing), much better than expected, just wish I'd planted more.

Brassicas, all doing well, had a nice crop of Brocolli and now cabbage, caulis a bit slow!

Tomatoes.. Outdoor ones doing really well, greenhouse ones struggling

Melons - loads of flowers but no fruit, again!

Courgettes, doing very nicely thank you very much.

Potatoes, too soon to comment because I planted them 2 months late!

Onions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just don't go there! read my posts :(

Peppers, sweet and chilli - maybe?

Strawberries - we had a glut this year

Asparagus - we had a glut this year

Lettuce, couldn't eat all despite our efforts to feed the dogs some :D

 

"Strawberries - we had a glut this year"
What's the secret Vince - how did you grow them and how did you manage to keep the birds off?

 

Were these wild ones shiney or home cultivated ones?


I smell blackberry and apple pie :luv:
