      Well, it's been a bit crummy for me, my figs never ripened and no plums. The apples are still on the tree, the grapevine is still growing, as are my runner beans, scapollini and leeks. But gone are the raspberries, cut back and new growth tied in. Wild strawberries still fruiting but my cultivated ones have finished. I'm just looking forward to me leeks now and my runner beans, and my apples when they're ready.
      Best wishes

              Still growing; 6 types of beans, courgettes, squash, marrows, kohl rabi, celery, leeks, cabbages, savoy cabbages, kale, brussels sprouts, swedes, lettuce. Plus tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers & chillis in the greenhouses.

              Finished or stored; potatoes, sweetcorn, peas, broad beans, onions, raspberries, strawberries, pumpkins.

              I don't think the more tender stuff will last much longer, we're already down to 5°c overnight , but got plenty of winter crops to come - I love winter soups and stews

                Good grief you lot, where on earth do you fit it all??

                In my greenhouse: Tomatoes (5 cordons, 3 minitures in pots & 1 hanging basket) just starting to ripen, Cucumbers (looks like they'll soon be on their way out), Chillis (am over-run with them!).

                In the veg patch: Purple & White Sprouting broccolli (unsure how successful this will be as only just above a foot high at moment), Beetroot (just about ready to be pulled then no more this year), Peas (should be finished in a week or so), Runner & French Beans (still cropping), Courgettes (still cropping), Sweetcorn (Hopefully will ripen up in the next couple of weeks, sun depending!), Butternut Squash (what a joke - no fruits to be seen) and Leeks.

                In pots / dotted around the garden: Carrots, Mini pumpkins, Rhubarb (now dying back), Xmas spuds (seems to be blighted all ready but have chopped tops down & am hoping for a revival), Cranberry (had 2 berries this year!), Blueberry (Had about 4 berries).

                Still to be put in: Garlic & Onions.

                Seeing it all written down makes me actually rather proud of myself!

                              I am feeling quite inadequate after reading the above lists!

                              Aside from herbs (basil, rosemary, parsley, lemon balm, lavender), I have:

                              tomatoes (two types)
                              parsnips
                              cucumber
                              carrots
                              squash
                              lettuce (two types)
                              kale
                              kohl rabi
                              some unknown thing which didn't germinate until I recycled the compost onto the flower bed!!
