The ground frost this week looks like it might have done for the

Ground frost already? Blimey. My courgette that made it to flowering
has had loads of female flowers, but they get polinated then they grow
a bit then they go mouldy at the end and fall off. No idea why. :-(

Lament of the URGlers: a little ditty wot I wrote

All of that effort
And packets of seed,
With nets and sprays
And feed and weed.
But taters got blight
And the runners won't run,
Too much damn rain
And not enough sun.

Slugs in the lettuce,
Then cabbage root fly,
They got in the broccoli
Which caused it to die.
The carrots are forked
And the broad beans too thin,
The courgettes - don't ask!
They all went in the bin.

And soon now the grass
Will be covered in frost.
No veg to show,
So the harvest is lost.
Cheer up though folks,
The seed catalogue's here;
We can all go and plan
What we WILL grow next year.
