Re: Tomatoe Blight

I haven't had any blight this year, it did hit my tatties the year before, but not the greenhouse luckily.

Re: 2019 - New year, New veg.

I grow something new every year along side my favourites, not grown this before, not a fan of pot noodles.

Re: Autumn bits and bobs

Last year I dug mine up and split the tubers, put them in dry compost in large pots and sunk them in the ground in the greenhouse, they all survived.

You never buy them washed do you and they are hanging around in garden centres for a while de-hydrating, yet mine always grow.

Re: Autumn bits and bobs

Pity the shots of the back of his head though, the Hind to the right was watching me and I was about quarter of a mile away, amazing eye sight

It's a Canon 1D iv a professional body, this was taken with my wildlife lens which is a 100-400mm lens as I was hoping to see some Salmon jumping the falls.

Re: Planning for next year

I planted watermelon seed last year but nothing grew, so not exactly "having a go", I might try again as I did grow one(just the one) in the 1980's when I lived in Leicestershire.

That's a fresh one Goeff, before the mantle splits and shrivels into the familiar white bumps, which then dry and fall off.

Re: Lack of fungal diseases on trees and top fruit

Our woods and fields are full of fungi at the moment after the first rains in a long time
