@keefeglise@mastodonapp.uk I’ve not grown Broad Beans for a long time, it’s a smallish garden I don’t really have the space. Ditto spuds. I grew a few dwarf white beans this year which did ok. I’ve been giving away lettuce and salad leaves because there’s more than I can eat. Shallots have been harvested ready for pickling for Xmas. I’m now getting hands full of cherry tomatoes each day. First time growing marrows, small round ones, 3 so far which might be all that I get though the plants are huge and still flowering. First lot of radishes was good but the hot weather made the second batch bolt. Rhubarb has recovered from being moved a year ago , enough for a couple of crumbles.

    @keefeglise@mastodonapp.uk Failures were chard (something ate the seedlings) and gooseberries although at least this year the leaves didn’t get stripped from the bushes. More salad, spring onions, radishes, spinach, and pak choi seeds have gone in and are growing - hoping the 38C weather forecast for next week doesn’t do for them 🤞And I’m getting exercise carrying the watering can back and forth a dozen times each evening 😀
