My courgettes have stopped producing female flowers, even my beans
have started to set badly, and my squashes are showing signs of
losing foliage before ripening. And I have jalapenos but no other
chilis.

All right, a lot of this was that I didn't get into action until
the year warmed up, and July hit before the plants had grown properly,
but August has been MISERABLE.

We noticed that the winter/spring/summer was beautiful, although seriously
dry, until the kids broke up from school and then it immediately went into a
cloudy dull cool and wet phase with just the odd sunny period. Perhaps when
they go back to school it will brighten up again. :-)

Today we have very strong winds, heavy cloud cover and intermittent
horizontal light showers.
