Ok so not just me then lol.

I think I will bang some more seeds in and live in hope that we will get an indian summer/mild autumn to try to actually get a reasonable crop. Will up the feeding I think.

Still be mixed this week but more bouts of sun and defo hotter and the plants are responding. Peas are now covered in pods and lettuces look great, everything just seems to have sprouted lol.

Yes, it's a bit like summer has arrived 6 weeks late!

I sowed some more peas and runner bean seeds in the greenhouse and they have sprouted and are looking good. It's so nice to see a bit of sunshine - I'm looking forward to a sunny weekend.

well the slugs have had a good year!

2 year old Raspberry plant (from poundland ) mostly eaten (and raspberries eaten )
Broccoli and swede plants also eaten (to be expected as they have been neglected).

Corn not much progress in a month! Runner beans are behind apparently (but have flowers now ), leeks are ok, carrots ok, strawberries ok, peas dying, potatoes doing well.

Moral of the story?

I need a greenhouse that doesn't blow away!

Ditto, except I haven't managed to catch any pre rain rot!
Mangetout just starting to get going, early potatoes rubbish, salad leaves and spring onions didn't even make the effort to germinate, still waiting for toms and peppers to flower......
I'm going to depress myself by doing a tour of inspection tomorrow for the first time in a week. If nothing grown I'm going to be a lunch free zone on Sunday - roll on payday.
