Tomatoes (no blight  :))
Peppers (they ripened and taste yummy!)
Potaoes (great harvest despite lack of manure)
Pumpkins (after a slow start they grew and grew and grew  :nowink:)
Courgettes (no mildew, kept producing and producing and producing  :wacko:)

Potatoes dire-black leg, and it don't think I will ever be able to grow toms if I couldn't this year, but beans, mange tout, courgettes, blackcurrents, rasps, PSB, onions, garlic all brilliant.  Swede, leeks, parsnips and sweetcorn looking good.  No salad at all, I keep planting, it just sits there looking like a seedling...

Now we've got the same climate, so it's got to be down to care/soil? My mange tout and 3 sowings of peas were all stunted and didn't get anything, salad was great  :blink:

You do get micro climates though. For example we are in a dip and get a lot more morning mist - even in the middle of summer which provided extra water for plants (sometimes too much in warm and wet autumn/springs). We are also more prone to frost than areas only 5 miles away.
