All potatoes did well with minimal slug damage and escaped the blight.
Lots of kale doing well and should provide me with winter greens.
French beans, after the filthy June they romped away and had to give a lot away as I couldn't eat them fast enough.

My absolutely massive, really pleased, got to tell everyone about it success has been getting a South African variety of green maize to fully ripen - this has been an ongoing on and off challenge that I started soon after marrying my South African OH. Over the years it has taken a lot of talking to seed merchants in SA, then getting them to repackage small quantities of non-GM seed in non-commercial packaging so that I can bring them into the UK legally (all declared at customs), speaking to South African farmers, researchers and agricultural consultants, setting up trials with different growing conditions, sorting out the correct fertilisation rates, minimising stress (i.e. watering!), praying for sun and warmth etc etc.

The pictures of this crop have been posted elsewhere on this site: http://chat.allotment-garden.org/index.php?topic=124034.msg1457378#msg1457378
