Ahhhhh....best time of the year.....

I made the mistake of planting out a dozen tomato plants two weeks ago, when the weather was almost OK, after several weeks of wet weather . . . . only we have had rain every day, almost all day, ever since.  The first tomatoes have keeled over, the rest look very miserable indeed.  Not necessarily blight, just dying of a  wet and broken heart!  I went out in the rain to pick some chard at the other end of the veg patch just now, studiously avoiding looking at the remaining tomatoes, then relented and cast them a glance from a distance, thinking that they would otherwise feel even more neglected and miserable.  Some were still upright and living . . . . .
At least I have a dozen more, different varieties, in pots under cover. They're not growing at all, but at least they are dry. No improvement in the weather forecast for at least a week.

As the title says, there are some bulb/spud planters for a tenner and more.

ACE - you'll be pleased to know that my Micra passed the
M.O.T. yesterday with flying colours. 

It is now 16 years old and has done a massive 38,000 miles.

Just thought I'd share this news with you.
