My first crops from this, my new plot, are starting to come in. Results so far:
Peas - Excellent results from an all Kelvedon Wonder planting of 5 x 12ft rows despite mice eating the seeds early on.
Caulis - Despite a good digging-in of well-rotted manure last October/November they show signs of boron deficiency.
Cucs - Good crop both indoors and out
Tomatoes - Fair so far
Other brassicas - Not looking too good except for the red cabbages. Lots of aphids, just seen a few ladybirds.
Potatoes. So far so good and no sign of the slug damage I always found on my previous plot.
Carrots - Birds dug over the soil and I lost the lot - will net next year.
Beans (runners and French) - Just starting to come in but lots of flowers.
Onions etc - Badly affected by white rot.
Sweet peppers - Under cloches and looking good so far.
Chilies - Indoors and looking good so far
Gooseberries - A bumper crop from already established bushes.
All other fruits - Newly planted so nothing to come this year.
As I say, my first year on this plot so I am learning it's moods and needs.

White rot is a real pig... try a double depth raised bed.. say 10".. with a membrane at the bottom.. works for some on our site.
Well done the first crops are so special makes all the work worth while.
Pretty good 1st season! White Rot is a real pain, try treating next years onion patch with garlic powder now, or as soon as it's free of this years crops. It certainly helped me this year, not a total cure, but a significant reduction.
