I picked my smallest heavy cucumber as spider mite had killed the plant and caused the cucumber to ripen way too early. Only 3.4kg (7.5lbs) and not worth entering anywhere. I have a much bigger one left.
The weather this week has been very challenging. We had a few storms and enormous amounts of rain. Yesterday one of my marrow plants was actually floating.
We are now in our 10th week of rain and I lost another swede and 4 more tomato plants. The 7.33 Hunt, 5.35 Lyons and 5.00 Clerinx plants got pulled as the fruit just simply rotted off the stem. The 4.29 Timm lost its fruit as well and I will try to get another one going. The 4.59 Lyons has blight but the fruit hasn't been affected yet. At the moment I only have 3 tomatoes set on the 10 plants I initially had.
