The beetroot provided a good crop this year - Borsch has been made and consumed. The artichokes remain to be harvested. I have planted some broad beans to over-winter, as well as some garlic and onion sets. No leeks this year which will leave a gap for us. The biggest success has been some perennial rocket that friend Charlie gave us as weedy plantlets last year: it gives a prolific and tasty crop all summer - far superior to annual rocket which is always disappointing to me.
