Allotments 4 All

Parsnips .... not one germinated ... will be doing them on damp kitchen roll tihis year!  And red onions - most bolted or failed to grow.  Trying seeds instead of sets this year.

Mixed results with tomatoes - the ones at the lottie failed with blight but the ones at home in the shelterd back garden survived it so there are some advantages to an 8 foot leylandii hedge you keep forgetting to clip!!

Bordeaux mix is a preventive not a remedy. you have to keep putting it on regularly if  it's going to achieve anything. Get the blight reports (I'm on a laptop, and don't have the URL), and don't worry about the odd Smith period. As soon as they start coming regularly, start spraying.
