The only thing I actually got anything off was the blackberry bush, and even then it was only a couple of berries. This year was a complete fail for me. Last year I did much better and grew potatoes, carrots, beetroot, kale, spinach, lettuce, tomatoes and berries but no such luck this year!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09801513107291683983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-37032702356543165502018-09-18T12:27:49.804+02:002018-09-18T12:27:49.804+02:00This was really interesting to read.

But it's good to see that you are making it work and growing such beautiful crops. Hopefully next year will be similar and not more shocking with the changes that occur from our actions on earth.<br /><br />Addie // Old World Newvisit - oldworldnew.ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053382180501990454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-7200492779366378452018-09-16T10:28:07.206+02:002018-09-16T10:28:07.206+02:00I definitely need to look more in to permaculture....I definitely need to look more in to permaculture.A Green and Rosie Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02501989987736281707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-52892044443309721352018-09-15T19:57:02.124+02:002018-09-15T19:57:02.124+02:00Somw of my mum's tomatoes didn't make it i...Somw of my mum's tomatoes didn't make it in the heat we had, hope the heatwave does continue so we can enjoy it but need to re-look at our gardenANOSAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11812562482087531028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-10554018384498752472018-09-15T19:05:41.649+02:002018-09-15T19:05:41.649+02:00I am in South West England.

The winners were the Michealmas daisies which are in full flower now and my pots of geraniums. <br />Big losers were gladioli and Irises.Anne Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01863278453106435319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-15614708202048085032018-09-14T15:26:38.323+02:002018-09-14T15:26:38.323+02:00Good overview.

I had the same bumper crop of certain fruits like raspberries but all coming ready in a very short time requiring daily picking of two or more hours. <br /><br /><br />Thankfully we have had a good hay crop this year and most of the grain crops got in at the right time and the corn looks like it will be a above average yield. <br /><br /><br />My permaculture style gardens with their deep cool covered roots with lots of compost out produced any plants done in a more normal style garden plantings.<br />Farmgalnoreply@blogger.com
