  Dead easy @Eustace  … I direct sow in the spring under a plastic mini tunnel cloche and thin out to about 9 inches apart.  I remove the tunnel when the weather picks up and they’re growing strongly. 

  
  

  I’ll put the protection back for the worst of the winter and get an occasional picking in the milder spells. Love it.

  Nice and plump tomatoes and beetroot @purplerallim 😀
  Last of the loganberries, a few blueberries, cucumber, a misshapen🫑 and a few beans.

  At least this hot dry weather has been good for drying out my shallots.

  French beans are doing well now, the runners are just getting going. The currants have finished now but the blueberries are still going strong 😊

  I've only just started to get my first few ripe tomatoes and the leaves look like this. Is this normal?

  They have been stressed by the weather @livvies mum but it will cause no harm to the plant or fruit.
