| Poor show here compared to lots of you, got a good quantity of purple-podded mangetout (they have been really good this year) a few pods of Alderman (waiting the next lot to start producing - in flower now) 4 pods of broad beans (must sow more next year) one turnip and a half-dozen Golden Wonder tatties. Also got four climbing beans - loads of flowers but the weather keeps blowing them to bits I think and we aren't getting much crop. I have had one courgette this year - don't think I will bother with them again. |
