I'm no expert but as there is so much blight around here, we are leaving the

Virtually all our outdoor plants have blight this year, although there
are a few struggling stems with an occasional tomato. I'm not
surprised given the July weather. What does surprise me is that our
outdoor cucumbers have been far more prolific this summer than I can
remember for at least ten years.

My plums are poor this year as well as being a fortnight earlier. On the
other hand my apples look better than they've done for years. Maybe I'll
get a decent crop of cider apples this year.
