Mixed results with us- new polytunnel so still experimenting but just ripped out the last of the toms- rotted away losing most of the tiny green tomatoes- managed to get one batch of green tomato chutney- will tell you in 3/12 if its worked or not.... potatoes seem to be fine- small amount with blight but otherwise nice eating- carrots- well out of the 100 seeds planted- we'll be lucky to harvest 7.
hey ho- global warming at its best- maybe we should be planting rice for next year?!! ;D

Any red ones we have had I have kept and made a sauce to store in jars. The green ones were made into chutney and I still have a few smaller ones turning red. My butternut squash has improved and just maybe we might get a few. I thought of trying winter cabbage in the pollytunnel  as I doubt with our weather they would come to anything outside. My biggest failure has been my leaks, after reading more about them I have already started sorting out a bed for next Spring with rotted horse manure as it says leaks are a very greedy plant. anyway its been a fun experience and I am looking forward to next year already.

The only thing we had success with here in Ireland this year was
Salad Leaves, Herbs, Apples and potatoes
everything else was very poor compared to previous years :(
Living the Good Life and spreading the word
