Still having trouble keeping the pots watered, although the lawn- despite September warmth- has damp brown earth due to the recent humidity. Tomatoes are ripening dark red without any blight; walnuts, although not fat, are plentiful; runner and French beans can't be picked fast enough. We have a 17 inch runner- not a world record of course, but I wonder if it challenges Roy Gunning's 'longest bean'. A pumpkin is huge, weaving and exotic but this is its third fruit that set, fattened, swelled then failed.
Twice-fruiting raspberries my wife bought me for Fathers' Day are budding to flower.
What's it like in Torquay, Kent, Lincolnshire, Lancashire and Lanarkshire?
