That's the good thing about gardening. Something doesn't work, you have a disaster, sometimes the plant will recover but if it doesn't well then you can always plant something else instead.
I planted some more pea seeds at the weekend in a moment of optimism that I might get a late crop and the mice might be busy eating other things and not notice I've planted them. 
We've had a few french beans, some mange tout (not enough but that's thanks to failure to germinate) and some lettuce leaves in our salad this week. Not enough to be self sufficient by any means. I think my trouble is that I planted small amounts and then forgot to plant again (and ran out of room) for the salad crops. Or things just haven't taken. Or they seem to be taking an age (radishes in particular).
Harvested garlic the other day. The bulbs are really small, not sure we'll bother next year. Onions are swelling nicely now. Have to think about what I'm going to plant in there when we harvest them. Sweetcorn and pumpkins are both growing well.
I used to have some orange and lemon plants grown from seed. They lasted for several years but I think that commercially grown ones are grafts and therefore if you are growing from seed you do have to wait until it is more like a tree before anything happens. I'd love to have a big glass house with proper orange and lemon trees but that's never going to happen
Timtam could you use your stones for an area where you don't want to plant up to help keep down the weeds? My allotment is still throwing up lots of pebble sized stones (they repaired a wall at the back of it a couple of years before I got the plot causing all sorts of damage) and at the moment they are stacked in a corner underneath some blackberry bushes.
