Masochistic tendencies.

Today is the last day of my holiday and I will be back in Liverpool tonight.

I shall be up at first light to go to the plot to see if :-

1. The blight has moved to the Maincrop (I cut the other tops off).

2. Carrot fly have eaten the carrots.

3. The shed has been broken into or burned down.

4 The runner beans have been blown over.

5 The polythene has been ripped off the greenhouse.

6. The slugs and snails have rampaged through everything.

Why do we do this to ourselves?

Well I hope you find your plot in a better condition than mine!!

I walked off it in disgust this morning it was diseased from end to end.

Strawberries........virused all will have to be destroyed and a new bed established.

Early potatoes not a haulm in sight.

Maincrop potatoes laid flat with blight

Chrysanthemums 20% eaten by rabbits

Onions & Shallots.......Mildewed  tops are all grey and crumpled.

French beans plenty tops but not flowering because of this foul weather, similarly Runner & Climbing french.

Sweet Peas have been virtually non existant

Lettuce are all leafy and not heartening

Shall I go on? :'(

On a good note everything under cover e.g. Tomatoes,Peppers Melons and Aubergines looks like being a bumper crop.................oops!! have I spoken too soon ???
