For me the big surprise was the Gerkins, I have 5 plants, 4 growing up on string 1 on the ground.
I have Been taking up to 20 fruit per week, for the past 6/7 weeks
Tomatoe are also plentiful, from 10 plants I have been getting 2/3 lbs per week, but only for the past 2weeks. I thing I will have loads of Green Toms as I am only picking from the bottom truss.
Chilllies turned red this week, so 20 fruit so far from 2 plants
Peppers are small, but 6 fruit from 2 plants so far
Dissapointed with the Pumpkin, it's 8/10 ft long, takes up too much space, and only two fruit.
Digging the potatoes next week, Sharpes express, quite small, but very tasty

So what has been your best cropper this year?
