Of the worst year on record. Talking to old Bob on one of the Blackpool sites he informs me they are writing this year off, we have been lucky to avoid the floods but all the rain has taken its toll, the cabbages have swollen and split, the carrots have been hit with carrot fly and he tells me that the spuds have now got white spot, toms are dying off with moulds. Its not quite as bad on my site but I am expecting it to get worse, so many things are bolting, lettuce, chard etc.
