Onions, shallotes a big no.

Tomatoes are a bit iffy, indoors or out.
Sweetcorn ok but very small and tender. Just too small.


That is the complete opposite to me, except for the sweetcorn. We ate
our first 2 sweetcorn at the weekend cos we had to pick 2 for the show
(2nd out of only 1 entry!), and they were ok, but nowhere near ready!
My onions and potatoes are ok, and my tomatoes are doing great (under
glass, I don't do them on the plot). runner beans and courgettes and
brassicas are all terrible


I should have said that despite the poor weather some things are doing
better than others, altogether a very poor performance across the range of
veg.

Strawberries have been scorchers around here in any circumstances!

Good luck for the rest of the year.
