Good

Tomatoes in my east facing garden, all outside
Various beans
Courgettes
Onions
Raspberries
Strawberries
Blueberries
Most of my herbs

Bad

Tomatoes, all outside, in my south facing allotment
Currant bushes - not dead, but not producing
Root veg: I have zero carrots, two (count them!) parsnips, which have gone to seed already, and a couple of dozen teeny leeks
Mint, even Morrocan, which has struggled this year

Ugly

My poor sweetcorn, which is about knee high, and has the smallest cobs I've ever seen

I just wondered how everyone else was doing?

We have had an absolute glut of tomatoes, both in and out of the greenhouse. The one week they were so hot inside the greenhouse though that they peeled themselves and went straight into the slow cooker for sauce to freeze.

Chilli peppers inside the greenhouse have done amazingly well as have bell peppers

French beans ok, carrots okish but not amazing but green beans have done terrible!

Yellow courgettes were a disaster! grin

Tell me all your successes and disasters please

Oh and I think our pear tree has given up sad
