A bad week in the patch. We had a few nice days, but severely cold nights (8°C) and a few days with lots of rain and no sun.

The 1378 split through the blossom and is out of the race.
1142 weights went down sharply with the poor weather, but is still up and running.

In other veggie news:
The giant POTATOES got blight. Dug them up. No big ones.
Pollinated a bunch of LGs.
Almost all of the new radishes have bolted again.
100% of the SUNFLOWERS have bolted. Two CORN stalks haven't.
Lost most of the big tomatoes to rotting. Have started new ones on almost all plants.

Expecting dry, warm weather for three days this week before the rainy season takes over again.
