Wow. I'm jealous. All I have is mud after last night's downpour; oh and lots and lots of weed seedlings showing

for me my growing season is the other way round when you guys are talking in spring about the growing year i am having think sh*t summers coming and its too hot to grow much ( as i learnt this year with lots of stuff getting scorched) will try a few new methods next year to protect crops from sun ...mind you i am lucky i dont think i could be a wet weather gardener now so i shant complain ...do you grow nothing at all in winter

?

There must be some good crops you can grow in summer? what do the local farmers grow? watermellons (yummie) peppers and chilli's tomatoes etc...

We overwinter cabages and leeks and parsnips etc. and some things are in the ground now for an early start in spring but its mainly the summer that we do the growing.

even my squashes got frazzeled this summer i have invested in some black netting and am planning to place this about a meter from the ground for maybe august/sept/oct and still try to grow pumpkins etc ...i see you grow leeks and parsnips i have just sown some leek seeds for the first time please tell me they dont need a uk winter to produce good stems
