    this year i have done so well with everything i have sown, either grow in tubs or raised beds, my soil is to clay. Sorry but i am boasting a little. this is from my garden
    Potatoes grew three different variatis,Charlotte;Belle de Fontain; and cant remember last one, in four tubs each,and harvested enough potatoes to keep both of us happy till christmas,
    But also have sown six more bags of CHARLOTTE in July to harvest later; growing well.
    BEETROOT was good lasted a couple months,Few more to harvest in a month; SHALLOTS are now drying nicely; ONIONS will be harvested in couple weeks.; Carrots have been fantastic no carrot fly in pots;
    Dwarf RUNNER BEANS have been succesful have frozen about 10lb so far besides what we have eaten..;SWEETCORN have been very sweet this year.first time for this; CUCUMBERS well what can i say.had six plants, all grown in pots and up canes. they have been fantastic so far we must have had about 30 of the plants.;TOMATOES in my little green house
    well i think i could feed the street, so many and loads to pick all from nine plants.
    The only veg i had probs with was peas they did not like me this year so only had three feeds off of them.
