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.

If you really want 300mm before the end of the month, then I suppose
this is the sort of sacrifice that you are going to have to make. (I
realise that a lot of rain doesn't always have to imply a lack of sun,
but that seems to be the combination that we've had this year.)
