On a brighter note my best crop based on ease of sowing/growing/crop was chick peas. Thrown at a bare patch of ground as an afterthought/green manure and forgetting them I got a massive amount of pods, most with 2 peas... Aye, there's the rub... harvesting the fiddly little beggars.Where there's muck, there's brassicas

Sweetcorn and earwigs. At the same time. Luckily the latter did not seem interested in eating the former, just in living, pooping and breeding between its leaves. Ooo and a single raspberry bush that was given as a gift and is still fruiting merrily.
Otherwise, no gluts for me since the overwintering onions and garlic came up I made chutney the other day as my blowaway blew away, decapitating two vine toms and necessitating an emergency chutney session. As well as the green tomatoes and split or squashed red tomatoes, the chutney contained two gherkins, one small courgette, seven shallots, two tiny onions, one very small turnip, two red beetroot and three yellow beetroot.

Spring cabbage, they were huge, spinach and parsnips. The rest the slugs got, seems a bit odd to be eating the stuff the slugs turned their noses up at
