Allotments/ fruit and veg plots - how are yours faring?

I could supply my whole village with rhubarb, it’s absolutely rampant. The gooseberries have failed, and no cherries to speak of. My potatoes are very leggy plants and have blown down in the wind. Tomatoes and peppers are doing well, no blight so far. I’m experimenting with ornamental gourds growing up the fence in pots, which took a while to get going but are romping away at the moment, fingers crossed.

Garlic pulled and second meal of new potatoes with bbq later. Tomatoes wilted in the greenhouse yesterday, they, cu’s and aubergines full of flowers. Beetroot poor, runners slow, courgettes and squash very slow, weeds loving it. Funny old season, only seen cabbage whites in the last couple of days.

My runner beans have been a disaster this year, hardly any germinated and the ones that have are being attacked by a bug which I've treated, I hope! The peas and french beans are doing OK and hopefully there will be some peas to eat next week.

When we left, cucumbers slow starting but picking up nicely. Aubergines, peppers and tomatoes coming on well, with tomatoes ripening.
Outside, broccoli and cauliflower plus cabbage should be ready. Broad beans May get a meal.
Galrlic should ripen now with the hot weather.
Other stuff still growing or like lettuce may be bolted.

I've found this year to be very strange but interesting in my garden. Some old faithfuls have acted dead and then suddenly put a crazy spurt on by way of catch up. Never seen anything like it before. I put it down to a hard frost in April once reawakening was in glorious evidence but at a fragile stage. Happily they are coping but still bear consequences of the trauma. Nature is so fascinating and ever changing. I'm constantly enthralled.

Our cucumbers have been a disaster this year, have discussed this on another thread. Cherry tomatoes ripening well, big ones still rather green. Broad beans good, courgettes small and slow.

We are away, and GS is on watering duties.

Just hope everything will be still alive, anything to eat will be a bonus when we get home!

Broad beans and Potatoes eaten by snails and tomatoes hit by blight. Not a good productive year so far.
