I don't often grow tomatoes outdoors, but this year I planted out leftovers from the greenhouse, which became massive and hugely productive.

The peaches ('Avalon') cropped brilliantly, producing the biggest fruits yet, but as soon as they approached ripeness, the wasps attacked.

This must be the first year that I've harvested a crop of garlic with no traces of rust: not a pustule in sight.

I adore home-grown courgettes. They lack that slightly bitter taste and spongy texture you can get with supermarket specimens.
