Rhododendron in bloom again!
One of my rhododendrons has just bloomed for the second time this year! It
only has two small blooms, admittedly, but it is blooming. To top it all, one of my primroses has flowered this week. Just wanted to tell someone! John |

Just wanted to tell someone! I know you meant 'somebody', but anyway - how exciting! I visited a local farm yesterday and their apple trees were full of apples...but one tree was also full of apple blossoms. The tulip tree around the corner from our house has seed pods on it, but is also flowering for the second time this year. It's exciting but scary, I think. someone |

You're right, I wanted to tell somebody but he didn't answer. I knew,
however, that someone would answer and you did! I only hope that with all these plants doing things twice, I don't get two birthdays this year - at my age I can't afford another one!

And I'm going to be majoring on tomatoes for the next two months by the looks of it. |

I'm afraid that the vast majority of my tomato plants caught blight so that I had very few tomatoes to eat. Today, I bought a packet of Legend tomato seeds and a packet of Ferline both Thompson & Margan and both supposed to be blight tolerant. I suspect that next year no one will get blight and I needn't have bothered! John |

They are very good this year, they're trailing tomatoes so I just bunged them in bags and pots and let them get on with it. I am going to look like a tomato by the end of the crop. Very good grilled or oven-baked especially. And they actually *smell* of tomato, for the first time in years. |

Our toms have looked so bad - the patience left that I had sadly didn't save them from their fate - all went onto the compost. I needed the place for a huge grass I had divided. I'm now eating my neighbours tomatoes ... which like yours have started to ripen and I made a ratatouille on Saturday (with barbecued sardines in the back garden). My god ... nothing could have prepared me for such a treat ;o) I will keep all my toms on my veranda next year. There's very little point trying outside again, whatever anybody say. I'm in Manchester, and that's that. |

The outdoor ones got a bit of blight and didn't do terribly well but the indoor ones have cropped pretty well and are still producing. I'd like to know which people think are the best beefsteak types. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |
