The sun's out at last!

Spent a whole day on the plot yesterday without getting wet! 

This wet weather seems to have suited the blackcurrants and gooseberries though and I spent a happy hour yesterday gathering them in.  I suppose jam is inevitable, although I rather fancy making a blackcurrant cheesecake.





Blight seems to have arrived and several people are reporting that their potatoes are affected. If you've not been spraying against it there's nothing much to be done once it's arrived except to remove affected foliage which you can burn or take to the tip. Don't compost any blighted potato or tomato foliage.
