Had a four day break, and after seeing some other gardens I realise just how bad it has been in this area, My runner and french beans are well over six feet but no flowers, the peas at two and a half feet are the same, turnips with plenty of top growth, not the size of a golf ball, carrots and parsnips hardly showing after five weeks and the onions flattened with high winds and heavy rain a couple of weeks ago, the courgetts have had one courgett which rotted and now every flower is male. One other thing I have noted is that I have two wall baskets planted with begonias and geraniums, both with the same mix of compost and feeding, one has reasonable growth while the other tapers down in size towards the wall corner, which would indicate the cold wind is catching it.
On the plus side I have good potatoes and cabbage, and a good crop of broad beans, and the expectations of a better crop next year.
