Slugs in the lettuce,



Very nice, but ... slugs in bloody everything! :'(



I wonder how many new-lotmenters this year will give up compared to

previous years. I suspect it's not a very high %tage that make it to

over a year anyhow. In fact, given just how bad it's been, I wonder

how many old-lotmenters it will finish off!



I was very discouraged earlier this year (my first year) by so many

failures, spinach & beetroot were sown three times and still failed.

However the beans and courgettes are so good atm that we will do it again

next year and hope for better weather earlier in the growing season.

The sweetcorn is small in height but has some reasonably large corns formed.

All in all, we will do it again.



Strangely enough the wettest summer since records began, is likely to effect far more things than those which are entirely obvious. There isnt likely to be much discussion of this though, as those responsible for the global warming which is the main cause of great changes in our weather patterns, own and control the corporate media, so in effect determine what an awful lot of people think..................
