Dug up a few more potatoes, about 9' to go and ideally will finish tomorrow as I want to plant garlic out there as some in pots has sprouted about 6inches.
Picked the last of the soisson cfb for drying that were fairly dry already despite lots of rain up to a day ago. Then picked raspberries, beetroot and tomatoes. The tomatoes have done very well considering they were infected with leaf mould from early July. the Vegetable Expert (Hessayon), who I know some are not impressed with, reckons about 8lb a plant under glass. I was pleased to get just about 6lb. per plant. The 2 roma, that were not infected with the fungus did best at 9.7lb per plant with some green tomatoes still on with a chance of ripening. The gardeners delight also did well as usual at just over 8lb a plant and plenty of small tomatoes still ripening with all the mild weather.
