Just to note that the area in the garden which was used to grow tomatoes
last year and was neglected this year is a mass of self sown tomato plants
which are now producing the first ripe tomatoes.
So presumably (given the severe winter we had) they could go on self
seeding for several years.
Not that they will be given the chance, however.

Any sign of the dreaded blight yet?
That is what normally finishes off my outdoor tomatoes.


Yes, blight is alive and well on our allotment site. Quite a few of the"new"
gardeners have lost their whole crop as most won't spray with anything
chemical. Ours are OK, sprayed with Bordeaux Mixture twice so far and we
grow blight resistant varieties only anyway.
