Good afternoon,

I am growing tomatoes for the first time and they are being grown in a greenhouse.

They were looking extremely healthy, however, suddenly, that has changed.

Please see the pictures.

Good morning,

In have an allotment and have tried to grow

Brussels, Cabbage, Cauliflower

Hi !

Thanks for the welcomes !

I took this allotment plot over last autumn in a very overgrown state. I guess contamination has come from neighbouring plots.

I suspect I won't grow next year as Leeks do occupy space for a long time.

Ian

Many thanks

Ian
