I've talked about my squashes before but I'm very proud of them, I picked them last week and they are hardening off in the sun now.
My carrots are a bit of a disappointment!
I've been picking some of my leeks, very wide but not very long.
My biggest disappointment this year has been the sweetcorn which is one of my favourite vegetables.
It just never got going and flowered very late. I may get one or two from it if I'm lucky and we don't get any frosts.
Well at least you have had some successes - and there's always next year.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first real year of growing fruit and veg and it has been hit and miss for me too. But I get the feeling that there'll never be a perfect year. There will always be some things that do better than others. My carrots were a disaster and so were my sweetcorn. I was so disappointed I devoted a post to my nonexistant sweetcorn!! But my raspberries, strawberries, beans and kale have all done really well. Just as well really if everything had been as bad as my carrots I'd probably be hanging up my wellies.
ReplyDeleteMy carrots are always a disappointment, and my sweetcorn wasn't that good thanks to a lack of sunshine through the summer.
ReplyDeleteAs Elaine says there's always next year! Flighty xx
Yes I've definitely learnt through the last few years of growing veg that every year is different and you may be extremely successful one year, do exactly the same thing the following year and it be a complete disaster. We are so weather dependent, but I guess that's what makes gardening so much fun. If I get it to work next year, my sweetcorn will taste the more sweet!
