Default Disaster

Hello
Super bunnies have been round and have eaten to near ground level
Cabbage, Brussels, cauliflower, my own fault

The bad weather has blighted my potatoes and flattened my Runners
I am not sure that any remedial action can be taken

However, Broad Beans, Onions, Rhubarb, Lettuce, Chinese Cabbage,
Potatoes grown in the glass house Have been harvested and eaten

Each year is the same win some lose some Can I have one year when
all is well

................Leslie

I have been growing veg for about 5 years and have always had highs and
lows. One year Runners will be a glut and next mediocre. Same with most
crops, I think. Good one year and the next very poor.
As you say you maybe ought to have covered your brassiccas with netting or
wire. Take it on the chin and next year cover them. My chin is bigger than
Bruce Forsythe's with all the mistakes I have made :-(
I have the start of potato blight too on my Arran Pilot and it is far too
wet conditions to do anything about digging them up and destroying them.

Just a bad year for veg growing as a home gardener in the UK I think, so
don't lose heart.
