One of my ambitions this Summer was to grow my own veg outside. Needless to say, the rainy British weather has had other ideas!
I did manage to grow some delicious chillies (though these were grown on the windowsill indoors) but my tomato plants failed dismally. To begin with, gusts of wind kept snapping the delicate branches, and then a cold snap made the leaves wilt and drop off. Lastly the lack of sunshine means that the tiny fruits have refused to ripen. Very disappointing! Still, there’s nothing like home-grown produce and I refuse to give up… though next year I plan to invest in a mini greenhouse!
