So being away for the first two weeks of August marked the slugs perfect opportunity - as they swung in in their masses. Cabbages decimated but still retrievable...
Tomatoes bulking up well but not much sun to ripen them...
Lettuce's still producing with Romaine providing welcome juicyness to salad bowls bulk...
Spud hit by blight in mid August but should be retrievable having cut away the leaves... You're to wait 20 days before removing - which should be just in time for 13 Sept show. Mother in law had good advice re presenting vegetables at show - always on a doillie, and upside down (she says!)
Best use of produce though has to be the chutney made with my brother's plum glut in Belfast, my marrows from Edinburgh and apples from Maggie's mum's garden in peebles...International effort
