What's doing well....and what's not!

[Thelma Sanders]

Going well cabbage,
Alderman peas,
Early spuds PJs and 2nds looking good Ambo
Sweetcorn green and growing,
Onions beginning to bulb
Parsnips,
carrots
Celeriac now we've finally had a bit of rain
Runner Beans, Purple podded french climbing beans
Salads in boxes
Raspberries.
Toms in the greenhouses
Not doing well
Peppers, aubergines in the greenhouses
Outside toms
Cukes, courgettes and squash/pumpkins barely holding on to life
Spring-planted strawberries
Sugar-snaps which usually grow to 3-4ft stopped at 18in and gave a miserable yield & ended now!
Swede alive but just sitting doing nothing at 3in high.
Early caulis that gave 3in heads!
Dwarf french beans


it's been a difficult year so far. Too hot too early, now cooler again and cold at night still.
Very weird weather!

Thanks to all the rain my weeds are now doing very well. Actually the sweetcorn is leaping up and the cabbages are hearting up.

Good (ish)
Blackcurrants & white currants.
Brassicas seem to be doing okay.
Celeriac seems to be doing very well, so far, waiting for the slugs to appear
Florence Fennel
Kohl Rabi - green
Leeks
Lettuce - every single seed of every single variety seems to have germinated.
Mizuna
Onions
Parsley - using seed strip, the rest didn't grow
Radish
Rhubarb - one plant is doing very well.
Rocket
Shallots

Okay, but slow
(The ground is still very cold.)
Cucumber
Courgettes
Broad Beans - very few flowers setting
French beans - too many failed to germinate, but we have enough plants to feed us
Parsnips - poor germination, but much better than the carrots.
Potatoes don't like their bags
Runner Beans, very slow to grow
Squash

Not good
Garlic - died back too early probably because of the early hot weather, bulbs too small to find, and will probably regrow in the wrong place
Rhubarb - one plant seems to be on its last legs - might be vine weevil?

Very poor/zero germination
Basil
Carrots - 3 packets sown, and now only 14 plants. Have re-sown.
Coriander
Capsicum
Hamburg Parsley - zero
Jerusalem artichokes
Kohl Rabi - purple
Rainbow chard
Schorzonera
Spinach
Spring onions - one pack of seeds, four surviving plants

experiments - probably too cold, so very slow
Sweet potato
