Runner and French beans were just about ok this year but not great. Spuds were excellent, I still have about half a sack of my maincrop "Sunset" spuds. They should see me through to the new year. No soft fruit other that the raspberries I inherited with the allotment. Currant and gooseberry bushes should be established by next year and giving me a crop.

Ha ha, that's good to hear. Sioned in B'ham has a small veg plot she wants to expand. I'll go over soon and give her a hand to get some new beds sorted. Eleri is in a student flat with no garden and, unfortunately no interest in, or time for gardening.

I never got any parsnips going this year, sadly but I will next year. I'm still harvesting lots of lovely carrots and a few beetroot though.
