Default [OT] veg. growing this year

Anyone else having problems?

Veg. are growing very very slowly this year, I know that I'm often late up
here but honestly I cannot remember a year when young plants seem so
reluctant to grow. Potatoes are doing fine and broad beans are in flower,
but that's about it. My lettuce just won't shift and my brassicas are
struggling.
I'm putting it down to the lack of sun.

Morning Will.
My carrots were very poor, in fact I dug up two rows last week-too cold !
My climbing french beans need a week of hot sun shine, but parsnips OK.
New spuds are brilliant, and eating them frequently.
14.9mm of rain overnight, rain Torrential in Marlow near 03Z.
Well over 100mm of rain this month, hoping for big storms this afternoon
