I've been growing fruit and veg for over 40 years and have never known a summer as wet as this one. However, I've never grown parsnips, beetroot (standard as well as Chiogga and Golden), mangetout, carrots, turnips, leek, celeriac and runner beans that have been as prolific as this lot are. That warm dry sunny spell over the Olympics followed by the warm humid weather we are having now has worked wonders.
The brassicas, broad beans, spuds (especially the spuds!) and tree fruit have been disastrous but hey, the successes have made up for them
