    This is my 1st year trying to grow veg and this is very reassuring to read that I'm not the only one with no veggies (yet!)...
    Patience has never been my main quality, so please hurry up ! ;-)

            Oh, me too! So many folk are feasting on delicious stuff and I have....um, rummages about in desperation...ah, I have a radish! My peas are only just starting to struggle up the netting, flowers are a long way off. The slugs have gorged themselves on my first two sowings of carrots. My potatoes have lots of leaves but harvest is a way off yet. My garlic is teeny. My swiss chard looks best under a microscope. No worries about any giant climbing down my beans. Etc, etc...

            But, I'm an optimist, and I'll get there one day in the next few months. And I feel better for knowing there are others out there in the same predicament!

              You don't need to move south for good growing weather. We're just a stone's throw from Scotland but have had 2 heads of lettuce, plenty of radishes, spring onions, chard, rhubarb, chives and the first gooseberries. Everything else is looking good apart from maincrop onions which look as if they might give up the ghost.

                It will come everyone don't worry. If you're like me this year you planted too early and now it feels like nothing has happened ALL YEAR! Well it will. Just get sowing your next set of seeds to stretch the season.

                  At the moment we've got some lovely healthy weeds!! We're still trying to clear our plot, but we do at least have stuff at home on windowsills waiting patiently.

                    Wee doing quite well this year, nothing much seems to be dieing for no reason yet.....

                    Weve had quite a lot of potatoes, planted very early from tescos king edwards ( the real ones from seed potatoes planted round good friday have nothing at all yet ) , some radish over the last couple of weeks ( never got radish to grow before, other than for leaves!), spring onions ( still a bit small but taste fine )

                    then theres the blackcurrents , red goosberys, lemons, limes, oranges, rhubarb, strawberrys, + some tomatoes this week and a few small cucumbers

                        Does this show the advantage of having a heated? greenhouse?

                          Ahem *polite cough*, another one who perhaps missed the point of the post.. see Sarz's comment, below. Not that I begrudge your glorious bounty - just that this is maybe not the place to point it out, amongst those who will have to wait a few weeks yet before being able to feast upon homegrown produce. You too Starloc! Off to the norty step the both of you....

                            Not a lot for me either even though I'm way down south where it's supposed to be milder. I have had a handful of salad leaves but that's it. Not even radishes.

                            Got one tomato plant with green toms on the rest just beginning to flower. Lots of tiny carrot,radish and beetroot greenery. Peas just in flower, most peppers only about 6 inches high - one a bit bigger has flowers.

                            I did start my sowing late this year though because I was walking the Great Wall of China at the crucial point in the season, I dare not sow before I went and leave things to the mercy of my partner

                              kale
                              Cape gooseberry (flowered indoor before planting outside)
                              Chinese celery
                              Garland chrysanthemum

                              (under cloches)

                              Chinese kales
                              Lettuces
                              Mustards and various green leafy veg

                                Chengjing... this is about trying to make some of us feel better not have us throwing ourselves off the shed roof.
