Mine have not failed, but are about two months late. I now have a glut of tomatoes ripening, The glut has been spread out slightly by the tomato cuttings which were cropping slightly later than the main plants.

Runner beans have also suffered, firstly, eaten by slugs when planted out. The six which did survive did not start cropping until August.

Ours got the blight last weekend so have been "harvested"  :'(

Sungold, Ildi and Hector all outside...... got a few lbs first which is now sauce/eaten.

Some green in paper bags (plus banana skin) so hoping for the best (but picking out the ones that are going brown!)

Oh well, next year..................

Mine are still growing strong and producing nicely... several types with different maturity dates  but I fear they will not last into November like they usuually do. We usually manage to bring one plant in to keep for Xmas Day but I think not this year.. maybe a greenie ripening undre the bed with a bit of luck.XX Jeannine
