It's a cover up!

Unfortunatley my tomatoes on 121 contracted the dreaded
BLIGHT
I was lucky to be able to send in a rescue team aka "me" to collect all
the green tomatoes not already effected
I then had to rip out all the stems and bag them up with the brown tomatoes, which I will later have to burn.
So, after that, I weeded the area as best I could and then covered it over - in the hope of smothering the blight and keeping the weeds down until next Spring.
Now for some more jolly news!
Here is one of my many cucumbers - I have so many, having stupidly planted 19 plants, that I don't quite know what to do with them all! However I will let them grow, keep on picking them, eating them, giving them away etc.
Ah, this is Daisy, who is guarding my sweetcorn that was planted by my little friend Joel
And this is one of my butternut squashes - again I have planted loads, but these will store well so I will have plently for the coming months.
