Take me back to dear old Blighty...

Did I mention that the spuds were doing really well?! Well, they were... The first and second earlies were both providing a good crop but I knew that the bad weather was ideal for blight... I kept looking out for it but everything seemed fine before the flood... Lisa even banned me from saying the word...


But as you can see it ravaged the whole crop in no time at all... we just didn't have the time (let alone the weather) to dig them all up... the blight struck like a wave along the potatoes. The outside tomatoes suffered too... really badly... It's even managed to get into the greenhouse to some extent, but i'm trying to control it by removing the leaves and sacrificing some of the weaker plants, just to provide more room for the circulation of air...


This is why... the tomato plants in the greenhouse are laden with fruit... I just hope it ripens off before the blight destroys it all... Yet another dodgy year, as far as the tomato family goes...


But there are some plusses... The courgettes don't seem to mind the wet weather so much, in fact they're doing quite well... same goes for the cucumbers... they're looking really good, unfortunately, i haven't got any photo's because the light's just been too poor to take pictures on my phone... They say August might be better... we'll see...
