You are lucky to have good tomatoes, in Norfolk, we have been hit with black rot
and we had to ditch 3 good plants....broad beans and french beans a waste of time, potatoes the same................on the plus side, courgettes great, cucumbers cannot keep up, runner beans the same (basically you can't have a meal unless there are runner beans !) have tried freezing them, but not the same....and the strawberries really great, likewise baby leeks..............we have spoken to other gardeners and they have the same problems....it must be a Norfolk thing

Oh yes I forgot, cucumbers have been great too. I think it is a weather thing Jan, we have had a lot of rain and not much sun although one or two periods of warmish weather.

I thought tomato rot was caused by too much or too little water, can't remember which, so maybe that is down to whatever weather you have had.

Jude, you will have a good show of tall plants next year then.
