Broad beans - slugged
Giant mangetout peas from Real seeds - fantastic! Light crop because no sun, but the taste was wonderful.
Runner beans, Climbing French, courgettes, all OK because I grew them in pots in the greenhouse. Ditto tomatoes and cucumbers, although both are late.
Cabbages spinach etc - between pigeons and slugs I'm experimenting with greenhouse growth.
Lettuces - greenhouse - very good.
Alpine strawberries are always good in a wet year, much bigger than normal
Rhubarb slugged! Though I did get a reasonable harvest.
Raspberries good but lacking in flavour, tayberries good, blackberries best yet.
Mulberries - about half normal crop.
Medlars - very poor. Perhaps 30 fruits altogether
Figs - big and juicy but still not ripe - it's a rice between them and the frost.
Apples - mixed. Could just be biennial bearing. About 30lbs of Worcesters but heavily predated by blackbirds. None of the others are anywhere near ripe yet.
