Default This year's Good+Bad (please add your own)

Broad beans - good
Runner beans - awful (slugged to nothing)
French beans - awful (slugged to nothing)

Courgettes - awful (slugged to nothing
Pumpkins - awful (slugged to nothing)
Butternut - awful (slugged to nothing)
Patty pans - poor (mostly slugged, 1 plant survived to produce a late fruit)
Peas - ok (would have been better if we'd stayed on top of picking!)
Mange tout - ok (ditto as peas - had some nice purple ones)

Carrots - awful (slugged to nothing)
Onion - ok (significant amount of white rot)
Leeks - ok (going well, hard to call atm)

Potatoes - ok (but mostly still underground as it has been too hard to dig!)
Tomatoes - really good (indoor and out, mostly still going strong)

Chard - very good (first year, looks like we have more than we can ever eat!)

Raspberries - very good (best year for these ones yet)
Strawberries - hit and miss
Blackcurrants - poor (were goign well, then shrivelled on the stem!)
Whitecurrants - good (young plant, but best year yet)
Redcurrants - very good (still picking them!)
Gooseberries - poor (few and far between, although the ones we got were good)
Apples - so-so (nice, but not a heavy crop)

Probably missed loads of stuff.
