Part of my garden is an old orchard. The apple tree seems to make a crop every year no matter what the weather. :lickface:
Cucumbers just finished (had the last one at weekend and this year had the best crop ever with 10 cucumbers). Presently over run with tomatoes and keeping everyone at work stocked up (grown cherry - red and yellow, plum tomatoes, beefsteak toms and normal ones). Probably the best ever crop of strawberries, so all in all, we have had a bumper crop this year. It hasnt been cold and its been very wet (ok, we had to water the stuff in the greenhouse).
That is all we have grown this year but hoping to expand next year and try some new things.
I am sat here giggling now...
Hope my crops are better next year....
bumper crop of brambes where the vegetable patch was sigh...
and our plum tree has decided to turn iinto a greengage tree blowed if i know how thats possible
I saw the thread title any thought kitty was up to something interesting lol
but it made me think of a bumper-sticker I saw ---
"Grow your own dope -- plant a man"
Which some of you fine ladies might find amusing ...
my veggies are superb spuds all kinds of beans even the "has" ones but fruit absolutly useless I live in Surrey on sandy soil
can't believe a discussion about this on here great .the best site I've found
Mixed results, but I think its because we've had such a crap summer so things haven't gown or ripened properly ... my tomatoes plants have lots of little tomatoes but they're not rippening, just getting the odd one or two ... marrows are smaller than normal though courgettes have been ok, aubergines have done ok but they're all fairly small.
There's also been a lot more weeds than usual. Big sods that you can pull out whole by hand. Which made it easier.
My corn/maize is really tasty this year. Main crop Spuds are good. Huge cabbages, leeks and sprouts looking good as well.
I usually buy plants rather than start from seed. So these are F1 varieties. So if anyone is using heritage stuff, yields could possibly be down, but you are still in with a chance next year.
But the proof is usually in the harvest festival whether its in your local church or scout hall. Then you find out who's grown what and how they did it.
It's quite built-up around here...
There is a local hydroponics and natural daylight strip-light supplier which appears to be doing a roaring trade.
Lots of windows blacked-out too...hmmmm
