Aaaaah guys. Take it as incentive! I'm willing yours will be just as ripe and delicious as mine 
I want photos to make me drool!
I only bought a pack of 6 plants this year from Wilkinsons and wanted to cut the flowers off but my hubby gave me the sad face so I left them, not bothering to grit or straw the bed thinking I would get the odd one for him to taste. It's an absolute surprise to me and there are as many again still waiting to ripen.
My veg beds have finally started to resemble something worthy. My beetroots have slug-chewed leaves but are growing big now, my climbing beans have finally begun to spiral up their poles and my broad beans are going nuts. My red and white onions are beautiful and fat, my leeks are several inches tall and my sweetcorn are lush at last.
It's been tricky this year to say the least, I opted out of potatoes, refuse to grow outdoor tomatoes after two years of blight, was too late for courgettes, my lettuce bolted and I had no room for any brassicas because I moved my raised beds in spring and still have to fill them with soil, but the best thing about veg growing is that there's always time to plant a new crop, whatever the season or weather.
Looking forward to growing my own garlic at the end of the year.
