Onions were planted way too early, ended up growing in concrete-like soil and didn't get weeded til far too late. There were quite a few nice small ones but nothing worth donating.
Parsley grows like crazy, even when it has to compete with grass.
Hops also did well though they are coming out in the spring. I never harvested them and they're in my way.
Broccoli, Cauliflower, Cabbage and Brussel sprouts did well. They were overwhelmed with weeds and got some mold so I didn't eat much of the late season stuff but the earlier stuff went to the food bank. I'm not very good at harvesting cauliflower and broccoli at exactly the right time. I'm going to blame it on my schedule.
Peppers did well and several crates went to the food bank.
Corn never got fertilized and didn't do much other than adding carbon to the soil when we harrowed it in.
Potatoes did well considering they never got properly hilled - We got probably 1500 or so pounds out of the 300 lbs of seed we put in.
Tomatoes - which I spent most of my time on - got late blight and I pulled them out right as they started ripening. Sad sad story. We're not doing tomatoes next year.
i'd love some hops if you're tearing them out. a plant or two have been long coveted at my house.
