Strawberry

Not far off 15lb in total from a 4'x4' bed, plus a couple of hundred wild strawberries.

I'm still picking them.

Only got my plot in March and I am just thankful that I got anything after a busy year with work. Very pleased with my broad beans, carrots, sweetcorn and courgette and onions. Will forget about my first attempt at brassicas, I just hope the slugs forget too!!!!!!!

Last year was my first year, so with this year being my second I had high hopes and expectations... this of course leads to disssapointment...

I really like the Lady Crystal potatoes - tasty.  In bags/containers they did well but in the ground they seemed to get quite damaged.

The Charottes I had enjoyed so much last year were also scabby and damaged this year (both in the ground and in pots).

The maris pipers are also quite damaged.

The sharpo mira (grown because of knows blight resistance) did ok, good quantity of potatoes, some huge jacked sizes but a few too many tiddlers (going to be fiddly to peel!)

The Desirees were the star of the potatoes   really good yield and very little damage

I was disorganised with my brassics but what I did get into the ground did well.

I planed loads more peas but they didn't do anywhere hear as well as last year - hardly any in the freezer for winter!

Tomatoes have done well (but I've wasted loads due to being disorganised!), Peppers have done well also - not hight yields but I'm happy none the less   got loads of chillies from plants grown from seed - way impressed with myself 

Beans (runner and slenderette) have both done well...

My onions didn't seem to do too well.

Anyhow I'm not deterred but planning for next year - not just to find a house to live in with ...

The butternut squash !!!

[gypsy]

Blackcurrants, blackcurrants and more blackcurrants. My best crop of the season by a long way. Other stuff was good but the blackcurrant crop was huge and yummy.

Year of the cucumber and the aubergine for me! :happy:
Definitely going for grafted in these plants again next year - worth every penny.

This was our second year of allotmenteering - last year was terrible - most failures due to the wet summer.  So we were geared for ANY success this year.
So, spuds have been good, cabbages and broccoli too, though we will have to rethink for next year as I plot share and it is impossible to grow enough calabrese for several hungry children!  Peas were fab - especially the 'champion of england'.  I have a little stash of them for that time at the end of December and broccoli too  .  Runners did and indeed, are doing well.  As did lovely purple striped climbing beans which were a joy to grow, look at and eat (have a stash of those too). We were reserved with courgette plants this year so haven't had great gluts, just enough to enjoy a weekly supply.

Had great success with cukes 'minature whites'. Absolutely delicious and kept us going for the summer months from three plants at home. May try them at the plot next year - climbing up the munty bean frame 

Won't bother with toms next year (say that every year) but we go away for too long during the summer school hols and can't give them the attention they need.

The year of carrots and onions here, certainly. Pot and toms were also good.

[Totty]

Generally a very good year for growing. Lost my cukes prematurely after a prolonged fight with spider mite, and brassicas took a bit of a hammering with all the butterfly's. Apart from that everything has done well.
Shallot-Zebrune from seed, Tomatoes- Sakura, Tomatoberry, Dometica, and celeriac- Ilona, are all new to me this year and have been hugely impressive. Cannot rate them highly enough.

Great year for tomatoes, raspberries, strawberries, onions and sweetcorn (yeah!). It would have been for brassicas if it wasn't for the butterflies squeezing under the enviromesh. Also not so good were broad beans as black flies decimated them (boo!).

[Flowertot]

...French bean and the beetroot definitely.   
Also had great success with Charlotte potatoes, Queensland Blue pumpkins, Calabrese and courgettes. 
Still can't grow decent spring onions though!

[Growster...]

Definitely good for toms, potatoes, peas, carrots, onions, celeriac, courgettes, squash, leeks (so far, touch wood), blackcurrants, apples and alpine strawbs!

Not good for salsify, scorzonera, kohl rabi, broad beans, sweet corn (definitely my fault), shallots (old bulbs probably), raspberries, (as the summer ones didn't do much), beetroot, and parsnip, (to see yet, after a frost) and also runners, as they struggled for lack of water down at The Patch, but the simple wigwam we have at home is still covered with flowers!

[midmarman]

best summer in seven years in Edinburgh in reply to op carrots been amazing 29p from Lidl esp the seed in tape variety(no need for thinning).Sweetcorn also a major success,salad completely slug free, beetroot great courgettes over a hundred, all varietys of beans great. In general fantastic year for veg and flowers and to be able to sit and relax between the watering and harvesting !
Only grumbles, fennel refusing to bulb and spring onions think I managed three ! 

[madcat]

Good year for outdoor cucs, borlottis, potatoes, salads and spinach and chinese leaves and onions and garlic and shallots and turnip and summer cabbage and sweetcorn and tomatoes and marrow and courgette and herbs and currants ....

Jury out on swedes and sprouts and parsnip and leek and calabrase ...

Bad year for runners and french beans (blasted bunnies! ), peas (maggots and bunnies ), sweet peas, winter squash (not that many fruit set and toooo many male flowers, odd given the success of the cucs and courgettes in the same bed), strawberries (our fault - too late getting them weeded and fed the previous year).

A good year really!  The sunshine and showers were a really good mix and the slugs not as bad as some years.

My Bananas have grown really well this year
