The tomatoes on the allotment were just starting to ripen.
Then the heavens opened for a week.
Now there is significant brown rot on some plants and a lot of unripe fruit.
Although we have taken a load of ripe fruit off the tomatoes it looks as
though the crop may well be destroyed very soon.
I assume this is worse on allotments than at home because the tomatoes at
home are still fine.
Is it possible to save some tomatoes by removing most leaves and all
infected parts of the plant?
Not an easy task.

The allotment is also a jungle - a week of rain and the whole site is under
a carpet of weeds.
Not looking forward to clearing them in an attempt to find the potatoes and
onions.
Hopefully a few more days of dry weather will make it easier to work the
ground - everwhere is very damp at the moment.

We do, however, have a champion courgette.
Takes two strong men to lift it :-)

One courgette plant is showing signs of yellowing of the leaves which make
me wonder if it has some kind of infection.

The whole allotment seems to have gone to hell in just over a week.

Ho hum.
