Nice to see you back hope your doing well. Sad about so much blight in UK we were lucky here so far but it may have been also due to the massive heat we have had this year. Thank you for sharing Barry ✌️🇨🇦🐝 safe

Cheers Ali, It's been a busy couple of weeks! I hope everything stays that way and you get a good season, i'm protecting my chillis and watermelons with everything I've got now haha! Squirrels remembered that the corn was good last year and ate them as soon as they emerged, they can't have tasted good!

Hi I'm another victim of the dreaded blight, I lost all my potatoes and tomatoes. I have just this evening thrown them all in the green recycling bin. Massive disappointment to me as this is first year at growing my own stuff. Hopefully next year will be better.

It's been a bad one this year! Don't let it deter you from trying again next year though, they'll be worth it!

so sorry to hear this man :( how did the fertiliser experiement go before the blight destroyed them? which was the best/worst/middle gorund???

[@GrowIt]

Suppose it's just one of those things! It was going well, the water and seaweed plants started to go yellow and purple through deficiency which was interesting. The bonemeal plant was the tallest by atleast around a foot. They all had loads of tomatoes too, just didnt get as far as ripening before the stems rotted out and they collapsed. They stood up to it better than the bigger tomato varieties but it was the stem rot that got them.

The best thing is not to grow tomatoes at all.Too much trouble,dealing with all the disease…

[@GrowIt]

I didn't think of that one! I just love growing them, I'll never learn.
