the apples however are fantastic bumper crop the same as last year,if not better.
i planted out 3 weeks later than last year and it seems to be comming up trumps.no stops and starts to the outdoor crops and they seem better for it.
sweetcorn stuggled earlier but is now catching up.
tomatoes,chillis and cucumbers flying along in the polytunnels.
all in all very happy with this year,and i will delay sowing again next year.peter
I have only 3 Plums this year, this being due to the Snow that fell whilst it was blossoming in the spring.
My Sweetcorn is also not great. Better than last year which was dire, but not as good as 2005. Pumpkins aren't anything to write home about either, infact the only this doing well is Peas! :lol:
My Neighbour kindly erected a large shed adjacent to my veg plot, which has enforced a shade vs sunlight experiment on both my beetroot and onions.
The result of this.......onions do not grow well in the shade. Beetroot just grow slower.
This means most of my onions are the size of small marbles. Lovely!
