So what worked best for you so far

[Ranter]

This year's produce is just what I grew in containers scattered among the ornamentals in my garden.

Lettuce & cherry tomatoes were good. Toms are still going although the cold wet weather finished off the lettuce (well, that, caterpillars & snails). Herbs have also been good.

Courgette hasn't been so good. About 2 thirds of the developing fruit start to wither at about 5cm long. The third that survives has been very good & more fruit is developing, so fingers crossed.

Other than that, it's been the fruit I've gotten from other people, who are overburdened with it, that's been good.

my courgettes got to 5cm long and then got nibbled by something...

1,128kg of potatoes.

Enough for a year, including pigs.

All dug, planted, weeded, and lifted by hand.

Carrots. Definitely early carrots, but not on purpose... anxious to rope Witchypoo in to help I handed her the packet and said "sow these thinly". Two ticks later she hands me back the packet (3000 seeds) and says "they didn't go far, have you got any more"! Gathered up the soil from the row as best I could and sowed a 4'x4' bed with it, but they came up so thickly it was heartbreaking. Couldn't even thin them! Anyway, later sowings in the tunnel gave us so much I've been drying and freezing them, hardly need maincrops.

Worst - most of the brassicas really. That's the last time I grow any of that lot without netting. Heartbreaking.

Stoney, that's a lot of spuds. Assuming an average weight of 80kg that's enough players for five-a-side, plus a referee and a dog to steal the ball.

Two 10cwt coal bunkers full, one 25 gallon water butt full, one-third of a 500kg grain bin full, three large buckets full and one big hessian sack full.

Tomatoes were my best crop by far - in fact there are still loads on the plants and bags full in the kitchen awaiting processing. I'm making bulk batches of tomato soup at the moment.
Sweetcorn was very good, also beetroot and carrots. Not a bad year all in all.

Pumpkins for me this year - 3 dozen + counting.

Erm, anyone want one?

[Merry]

Cauliflowers - at the second attempt!
The first lot had an identity crisis - thought they were cabbages and didn`t produce any curds.
The second lot looked all right but bolted in the heatwave.
The third bed has produced lovely caulis.
All from the same seed packet!

Beans, beans, beans... Yellow climbing French, dwarf green French, runner beans (painted lady, very pretty flowers).

I also have loads of custard white marrow (of just one plant), which I use instead of courgettes, because they didn't do too well. And my pumpkins look like they've got a lot on - but I don't know how mature they'll get. They are a small variety, so no Halloween giants!

early potatoes and runner beans - both planted very late - did well. I've only been picking beans for two weeks or so but still have the traditional glut.
Maincrop pots have blight, though *sigh* and I've removed the sad, blackened tops and will investigate to see if anything is edible next weekend.
However, Hurrah! have squash growing in kitchen compost! Wouldn't have dreamt of deliberately planting it but there are loads of little squashes at the moment.
