But broad beans are going great. The rain is certainly helping now, you are right it was far too hot especially since we seem to have gone straight from cold winter to boiling summer, what happened to spring?

I didn't count the number of punnets of goosegogs I've picked to sell but at least a dozen everyday for a week or two, multiply by 500g and that equals a goodly amount of scratches!Sue in Suffolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166036914348424622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-77704694735942271392015-07-06T12:23:37.287+01:002015-07-06T12:23:37.287+01:00Hopefully these next few cooler weeks will do the ...Hopefully these next few cooler weeks will do the trick.Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-10600543503595854072015-07-06T10:17:24.022+01:002015-07-06T10:17:24.022+01:00I think it's the same for all of us this year....I think it's the same for all of us this year. <br /><br />My leeks have come to nothing. They were outside for six months, stayed exactly the same size as when they went in, so I brought them into the polytunnel, even with feeding, watering and mollycoddling they are only a fraction bigger, if some of them hadn't keeled over and died I would have sworn they were made of plastic!!<br /><br />So much has either died, gone to seed or been eaten by animals I feeling pretty down about it :-(<br /><br />It does seem to be a good year for Gooseberries though, lots of folk including my neighbour are having bumper crops, it's just a shame I only planted my bushes as cuttings last year and they are too young to fruit, I have my fingers crossed for some fruit next year :-)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.com
