In no particular order: My Alisa Craig onions sown from seed were a resounding success, as where the raspberries planted in April .
BD & I are still picking the Autumn Bliss, although I’ve yet to get him to eat a single one!
We took a weeks holiday on the Isle of Wight and visited Osborne House; Queen Victoria’s summer palace.
My ‘Chelsea Cabbage’ survived the caterpillar attack and was shared with my sister Carol.
The Mayan Gold spuds did pretty well and we’ve now sussed out how to cook them. They don’t need par-boiling before you roast them and also make excellent ‘wedgies’ although are rather on the small side for baking.
We had fun shelling peas
The carrots were a disaster and this is the entire crop from three packets of seeds!
The Brussels sprouts are doing well and taste wonderful (only if you like sprouts of course)

Just need to felt the roof to stop the rain coming in, paint the exterior and sort out the inside.

Love those carrots.. but what a shame.
My how BD has grown! I will forever remember him lying in that trug surrounded by veggies! It is encouraging to see that your carrots are just the same as mine! Lovely view of Osborne House, I must make a point to visit next time I am over there.
Your carrots look a bit like our parsnips, but they are better than our carrots which barely germinated at all. Those onions are magnificent though - prize winners for sure.
Judging by these guys and their long limbs I reckon the rest of you carrots ran away!
I hope you paint your shed bright blue, I have a thing for bright blue sheds
Sadly, our council will only allow brown or green sheds outside, although they don't stipulate what shade of green.......The inside will be much more individual- when I get time!
I love this post. Partly because you were kind enough to show us your carrots. It is always nice to know you aren't the only one who has catastrophic years with some crops.
That parsnip and the sprouts are really something, and lovely seasonal treats. Enjoy.
we had no carrots either - a couple of tinies attacked by carrot root fly
good to see you, bd's looking gorgeous!
