    For me it has to be tomatoes (even though most of them are green!), chillies and apples.
    My rhubarb has done better than normal, but because of watering other plants nearby they did get extra watering this year.

          Amazing well done!! Haven't grown caulis before but I heard they are really difficult to get right

            Have harvested almost 200kg of home grown produce over the last 6 months :-)

            More importantly, I have saved some carbon miles, a few quid on shopping bills, and enjoyed every minute I have spent at my plot

              Nice cauli - what variety is it?

                      Got to be aubergines and melons.Could have been down to the weather. Hsd limited success before but more likely learned how to stop the plant the right point of growth. Both were from Real seed company and grown in polytunnel. Happy days😊

                        My biggest Success was winning first prize in my allotment society and it's my first year gardening since I cut my Dads grass when I was a nipper, and I'm now 63. :-) :-) :-)

                          My successes are my potatoes- not bought any since my first harvest back in May, my Tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, beetroots and courgettes. I’ve learnt so much in my first year and that’s gotta be my biggest success- looking forward to next year when maybe I’ll have success with my onions, celery, peas, and get more than one Uchiki Kuri
