Veg report 2016

Tomatoes - Bought two bush varieties -  Tumbling Tom & Tiny Tim - planted in hanging baskets. 
Both did very well producing lots of fruits still picking beginning October. 
Favourite - Tumbling Tom 

Aubergines - seed stared in shed - only one plant has made it but failed to get big enough to produce flowers/fruits. It's still looking healthy so will bring it in to see what happens. 

Rocket - from seed in pot.  Reasonable crop but need to sow more. Also about a month ago the whole pot got eaten by caterpillars and I thought that was that but on actually fact I now have a healthy new crop growing so thank you caterpillars. 

Lettuces - from seed in pot - good crop need to sow more. 

Courgettes - three plants from seed - two in veg plot, one in pot. Veg plot plants did better. 
Lots of fruits, still producing now. 

Sweetcorn - 9 healthy plants , 10 cobs but left then too long so over ripened... See prev post. 

Strawberries - wild strawberries allowed to grown in veg plot - very disappointing this year, hardly any fruits so they have been removed from veg plot. 
Bought one plant late in the season. Had a few very sweet and yummy strawberries. Hopefully this will produce again next year. 

French beans - from seed - started in shed in pots - hardened off and put in veg plot. 
Good crop 

Mange tout - from seed straight into veg plot 
Brilliant - lots of pods, just kept picking and picking. DEF GROW AGAIN NEXT YEAR

Carrots - from seed in deep pot 
Total disaster...  I have no idea what went wrong as I have grown them successfully in the same pot before. They just didn't come up....! 

Radishes - seeds 
Grew brilliantly and very quickly. But not really keen on them so didn't get eaten.... !
