where are you, we haven't got any yet and I was hopeful that it would
be a better year this year.

30 miles West of you, just outside Liskeard. Bertie

Well we'll both be battening down the hatches at the moment then and

Yes the farming forecast has been giving warnings. I managed to tie my
French 'Blue Lake' climbers to the poles. They look a bit sad at 30cm high.
Most of my neighbouring allotmenteers, have gone for the English varieties
and they're almost 2 metres high!!! - (the beans) :-)
