new year, new post

Yes i know i have not posted for a while, got out of the routine, plus when the rainy weather hit i was not going down with little to report, plus i was ill for some of september and unable to get down also.

anyway, enough excuses.
Quick review of last year - okay year.

More info?? okay then.....

potatoes were pretty poor, very poor in fact, one row barely gave up a dozen spud's.
pea's were also poor, the mange tout grew big and flowered well but not great cropping.
Onions, i give up on red onions (again!), white/brown onions were  not good, and i didn't get round to planting the autumn sets so spring ones it is again.
Good - swiss chard, beetroot, parsnips, swede, sweetcorn, pumpkins, beans - french and runner, strawberry's, raspberries, lettuce. Courgettes were okay but i'll use another variety next year.
