    First year growing veg for me. Garlic and Shallots were great especially the garlic that was planted early. I shall be planting stacks for garlic in early October.
    I made the mistake of putting 4 cucumber plants in my tunnel and I have run out of friends to give them to. Cues seem very easy to grow. Fennel (victoria F1) has been fantastic. I thought it was difficult to grow, it maybe the wet weather that helped. I am off to do a sun dance

        potatoes - anya and arran pilot have done very well. Can't tell you about the desiree yet!
        Cabbages (greyhound) look and taste good and the snowball caulis are great as long as I get them early - they go blown if I try leaving them to mature properly.
        Lettuce red salad leaves and ice king have been fab but cos has been a disappointment so far.
        Tomatoes - pathetic!
        You are a child of the universe,
        no less than the trees and the stars;
        you have a right to be here.

          Must also mention my broad beans which have produced an enormous amount this year.

          Momol - what are collards? I am very intrigued with what you are growing in the Netherlands!

            My one solitary cucumber plant!! Had a few in the greenhouse but howling gales blew the greenhouse down and killed umpty ump cucumber, tomato, cauli, cabbage, and brussells plants. Decided to plant my solitary cuc directly in the lottie (no protection) and have harvested 3 so far! Mind you, I'm new at all this so maybe it's a really pants crop!! Whatever, I'm a happy bunny!!!

              This is my first year for veg so far shallots and dwarf french beans (opera) are the best.

              Worst are tomatoes I have lost them all to blight.

As for tomatoes, they are all gone... blight! I was hoping so much to pick and taste some of my black tomatoes, but now has to wait till next year.

                  my first post

                  just joined, so this will be my first post. we've been growing our own veg and this is our 2nd year.
                  best for us:
                  last year- lettuce, runners beans and tomatoes and beetroot
                  this year so far - lettuce, beetroot, peas and carrots (grown in an old bath)
                  onions are looking like they'll be good too,sweetcorn look like there doing ok
                  but its our first year for these so fingers crossed.

                    This is my first year of gardening, and despite being away for half the summer due to illness, I have still got an amazing runner bean plant which has not stopped producing - I'm having to give stuff away! It was so easy and required hardly any attention at all.
