Seriously, some people class us as north Cornwall, others SE cornwall.
Around Bodmin Moor.


Well I know Cornwall has trees growing horizontally and the grass is
always
green but I never realised the difference in the weather could be so much.
I
was down there at Marazion in '76 and it was certainly hot there then.

Ah! '76 was very hot, I remember it well. I was still at school in those
days and spent the summer on Plymouth Hoe sun bathing and playing tennis!

But this year has not been exceptional. In fact quite often the mist has
been down for much of the morning with the sun unable to burn it back.

As for the allotments, peas gave up completely, Runner Beans also didn't
like the heat but are now flowering well, spuds grew well but still a lot
of
slug damage on some despite using Nemaslug. Best carrots ever (Long Red
Surrey), Tomatoes doing well too, brassicas growing well although
caterpillars are rife this year. So it's some wins and some losses.

Err I havent had any of those problems g.
A few problems with tomatoes not having erratic sunshine Cucumbers coming
off four a time.
Beans running riot.
Strawberries did have a poor start , but improved.

Apples haven't been good
Onions haven't done well at all, had to give up on those.
