Tuesday and Wednesday weren't bad days with temperatures into the low twenties. Both days were mostly cloudy but we didn't get any rain. It’s pretty dry on the plot and some rain would be very welcome. We might just get some Friday night or early Saturday if the forecast is correct.
As it wasn't too bad on Wednesday afternoon I decided to lift another row of potatoes.
That's such a shame about the tomatoes in your home greenhouse. It's a good job you've got others to fall back on. I have to say that the tomatoes I've grown outdoors have fared much better this year than those in the greenhouse. I think it might be down to the compost. I used multi purpose, whatever I'd got at the time, for the greenhouse plants, but the outdoor ones were grown in upturned growbags. I'll definitely use them again next year.
Unusually this year no blight on potatoes or tomatoes either on the plot or at home. All our tomato plants look healthy enough. It's just the toms they're producing.
We inherited the apple trees when we took on the plot many years ago now. It's our best guess that they're Discovery but we usually get a decent crop with minimum effort. That's my sort of crop.

DeleteThose apples look fantastic. A real shame about the tomatoes, they are tricky things I think - if it's not one thing it's another.
