...is because I decided not to plant outdoor tomatoes this year.     

[BobE]

I knew it was sombodies fault.

[Yana]

I did plant some outside for the first time and they are doing better than the greenhouse ones.
That said.... They are bound to get blight so I'm not that clever after all.

NOOOOOOooooooo!  Don't say that!  don't tempt fate - I have my fingers and toes and eyes and ears crossed that we will have a blight free year!

.... don't forget the 3 solid weeks of heavy rain to come in August  yep, sounds familiar (remember the Boscastle flash flood of 2004)  Up until then my outdoor plum toms were on course for the best ever harvest.  Then I decided to have 3 weeks off work in August, and on the first day there was a cracking thunderstorm in the morning  and then it just rained and rained and rained.  It stopped raining after the August bank holiday weekend when I was back at work but the damage by then was already done

coz its summer time 

[GYO Girl]

Don't worry strangerachael, I take some of the blame too.  Three weeks ago we installed a new water butt, connected to the guttering on the shed, and it hasn't blinkin' rained since!   

[fatbelly]

No the reason its so hot is that all my Squashes failed to germinate.

[Annen]

I put a rain pond in to cope with the floodwater in my plot...its had water in once since March

Just goes to show doesn't it, never say never again
