After all my griping about the weather, I am pleased to report that we have loads of peas, beetroot, kohlrabi, cabbage, broccoli/calabrese (best ever! variety Chevalier), carrot, onions, shallots, massive garlic and potatoes (no blight here yet - fingers crossed) and the first small leeks and dwarf beans. The broad bean crop is down on previous years, no doubt because of lack of pollination which wasn't helped by me planting the rows closer together than usual, but will still make several pickings and freezings.
Stuff has really come on the last few very warm days and overall, it's turning out a very good year!

I feel the same Monika. From no courgettes to picking over 20 in 2 days, the French beans have started cropping, tomatoes and cucumbers doing well, loads of kale and cabbages; lettuce now on phase 2; the first lot has just gone to seed. Also lots of beetroots, swedes and turnips, all module grown for the first time and the first year I've had a really decent crop.

I'm also on day 2 of my annual fortnight's holiday at the lottie
