    Evereyone seems to have had a bed year of growing veg.

    Just come in from the garden, discovered what was left of my tomatoes (most destroyed bt storm) have last blight.

    Cucumbers succumbed to the mosaic virus, and now my beloved capsicums are coved in red spider mites. Squiching the little buggers one by one does not seem to be an option there are millionsof them.

    My first batch of potatoes were great now this second batch have potatoe blight.

    The only bits doing ok at the moment are my lettuces and basil. (not sure if chilli's are infected with the red devils aswell)

    Really gutted about my tomaotoes, today has been a bad day and finding them sick just tipped me over the edge. (just cried over tomatoe plants how sad:o)

      The new garden! Slightly over grown... any ideas! Grass is about 2ft high, has loads of grasshoppers and dragonflies. Think I saw a slow worm as well

      Ohhh I am severly allergic to biting bugs so need a garden that doesnt attract mosquitoes or midges of possible!

      Must have veggie patch and lots of love!

        Thats not a garden its a wilderness! Attack it with a strimmer to start with. I havent seen a slow worm for years since i was a kid and we used to go down on the railway line to catch them.

              PMSL I lost the will to live now.

              Late August they will bare fruits........edable as soon as they turn colour.
              The colour depends on the veriety.

              Best of luck,

                So do they fruit from the same place as the flowers. We must have had about 150 blooms this year so far in batches of about 30 at a time and it is still going. Its rampant. Or do we have a non fruiting variety.
