The Good

Strawberries (can't keep up)
Early sowings of Carrots, Turnips, Beetroot

Not having to water despite a hosepipe ban

The Bad
French Beans (so slow but finally taking off)
Aubergines (Slow)
Peppers (Poor germination, slow)
Squashes (blow away)

...and the Ugly
Slugs
Flea beetles
Flooded Polytunnel
Rain
WIND

Looks like it will be a good year for brambles/blackberries

Same here. All the soft fruit is loving the wet ground - a few days of sun and it has gone mad into ripening mode.

[BarleySugar]

A bad year for sprouts, my green ones have gone to seed already, without of course, giving me any sprouts first.
Shallots also bolting, squashes suffered from the wind, not sure whether they'll recover.
Bad year for rust on garlic, they looked really good a week ago, now all the leaves are brown .
Good year for peas, I actually picked enough to cook for dinner for 3 people at one go.
Broad beans, no chocolate spot yet, but had to take the tops out because of blackfly.

[veggiechicken]

Time to add to my initial list!
Its been a good year for
Soft fruit (or will be as long as it stops raining)
Potatoes - putting on lots of growth
Broad beans (no blackfly yet)
Tomatoes (because VVG gave me some strong plants!)

And a Bad year for
Courgettes and squashes (all eaten by Snugs)
Runner and French beans (putting on very little growth)
Cucumbers (just not growing although in the GH)
Any greens - Snugs again
Pears - no fruit at all on 5 trees, some of which crop heavily normally.
