Tomato tribulations

Written by: adekun on 1 May, 2008 7:07 am - Filed under: blog ?

I’ve been too hasty planting out the summer vegetables. It probably would have been okay if it wasn’t for the weather that soon followed. Since the cold and the rain it has been super hot; a bit too hot for digging. The leaves on the tomatoes promptly grew dark brown spots. I wondered if I might be in with a chance of winning a prize for the quickest onset of blight. After an anxious week they seem to be in the clear. There are even a few tomatoes forming.
First tomatoes
The rest of the veg are in a similar state, not perky but alive. Hopefully we’ll have some rain and save them from being frazzled.

    We have had an unusually cold and wet spring - too cold to have anything as far on as your tomatoes!
