One Rond de Nice courgette plant or at least it was when I planted it.
Slugs this time not the ducks.

A Cabbage, eaten by beasties, home to a snail, peed on by Spud and sniffed at by Bess

[Small pumpkin]

Monkey Nut.......need I say more!

[bario1]

Purple sprouting broccoli - never made it out of its 9cm pot!

[skeggijon]

Cabbage that was doing so well. Then we had the wet spell and slugs ate all the way into the centre

[happyhumph]

My cabbage, kale and romanesco that I carefully pricked out taking ages, then was eaten before I got them in the ground

Total Failure

Oh dear ~ this was my last attempt at growing a decent radish this year...(and probably EVER...!!!) .....
Supposed to be Mooli.......(?) ..........

[Penellype]

After careful planning, measuring, sewing and securing a special insect net over my gooseberry and blackcurrant bushes to keep out the sawflies, this was the total crop from both - 1 gooseberry.



Teaspoon for size comparison.

[Lumpy]

Supposed to produce loads and loads of butternut squash - it's now nearly September and still no sign.

I normally display my 'naturalised' Madeiran garlic with great pride, it got even worse when the bulb dplit as I went to take a picture second pic' has my little fingernail for scale .......

[Sappidis]

The strawberries... the plants are fine but it took months to realise the dog was eating the ripe ones straight off the plants.....

[Cadalot]

OK not a parrot but Kiwano Cucumbers as you can see I have lovely plumage (urmm I mean vegetation) but it's Bereft of life in that there isn't a single cucumber or a hint of a cucumber on it anywhere.

I haven't yet cracked how to grow carrots My first load in the raised bed got eaten by slugs. These were grown in a container and I got excited when the tops started showing.

On the plus side, I didn't have problems with carrot fly!

[Ms-T]

Not being able to reach the best one that grown.
