Good to hear from you.

One thing's for sure. What with...

That sounds like there are quite a few generations of your family
enjoying this produce - must be doing everyone a power of good!

Good luck with all your babies this year, especially those Sun Golds!

I checked tonight - I now have lots of fertilized flowers. However,
there are also some nasty dark patches all over some of the stems.
Since I've lost so many previous crops to Blight, I'm off out to try
some spraying (trying something "natural" called Biosept).

Finally. Since last writing three of my Okra flowers seem to have
turned into "fruit" without the flowers even opening. There are plenty
more buds showing, although the blackfly are starting to move in too.

All the best,


Colin
