Good evening!

I've processed a few photos, all in all not a great year growing wise.. time was limited..AGAIN!!

New job for me and the other half, the kids and fishing all getting in the way of a successful growing year.. that said, we've had worse! Here's a few from this year..

..it really is a best of a bad bunch..

The pick for me this year.. the parsnips, incredible crop!

Also, Chilean guava.. very interesting fruits!

Good crops of strawberries and Tayberry too!

[SarrissUK]

Wow, you're making amazing progress! I'm so impressed Well done!

I'm also pinning all my hopes on this bendy, wind battered PSB plant, it's just about 4ft tall and looks like it's going to produce more stems than the other 3 plants put together.. so steaked and tied to hopefully get it through to late winter/early spring!

It does look a nice healthy plant.

[cptncrackoff]

Thanks Bren, considering it had no netting or caterpillars picked off it, its doing very well!

One of the surprises of 2019.. Mini Pop sweet corn, wasn't expecting the plants to grow to 8ft odd..

^Were they productive?

^Were they productive?

For the size of the plant.. probably not, although each plant produced around 6-10 cobs it and they were far superior to shop bought bendy things.. it just seemed an awful lot of plant for not a lot of return!?

[Snoop Puss]

^Yes, and they're a lovely colour too. So clearly very healthy.

Wow, it really is amazing to look back at the photos of when we first got our plot, here's a throwback to summer 2020.. it was a good year for growing if nothing else..

[Ms-T]

[cptncrackoff]
