    Hello , peas ,broad beans , strawberries , raspberries , gooseberry  and the others currants , all finished 

    Brcoli gone to seed 

    Still picking cauliflowers , beetroot , courgetts and cabbage 

    French beans & mini cucumbers should be ready 

    Pumpkins , sprouts , parsnips , leeks , carrots & quash growing nicely 

    Tried a globe artichoke , ok but seemed a lot of messing about for what you got , they look nice as a flower thou

    It s good if you have grown everything on your plate , except the meat of course 

    Best wishes everybodyimage

    Wet to the plot yesterday to water and picked some toms. 

    Strong wind had blown over some plants hope there's not too much damage, won't be able to go again until Saturday.

    My tomatoes have blight. image I've had about 15 cherry tomatoes from eight plants so far, but there are lots of green ones on the plants, so I was looking forward to a nice harvest later. No such luck. image The two plants in the greenhouse seem OK, fingers crossed.

    I don't know if it's because the soil is poor or this season is strange (or because I'm inept), but I've only had very little crop from anything.

    And the slugs are back, so more slug pellets scattered around.

    Aster 2 , my toms have not done very well this year but no blight 

    All ways grow mine in pots outside and grow bags in G/Himage

    Thanks, GWRS & scroggin, that's good to know. Not that I'm glad your tomatoes haven't had a perfect season, of course, but it's kind of reassuring to hear that it's happening to other people as well.
