Originally posted by salilah View PostNope, me too - a few early in the year, then almost nothing - they keep producing male flowers but only a few fruit which tend to rot before they've grown enough... Very disappointing as the last 2 years worked so well! But I haven't watered them as much this year, so that might be an issue...

However, that's inspired of you TS, did you make it a rhyming advert, and will you only give them up to poetic responses al la Ollie?

But both freezers are full of sweetcorn, broad beans, shelly beans, berries and there's even a bag of sprouts in there somewhere tooAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.

That's a great idea Two Sheds, better than letting them go to waste. It did make me think of Joe Swift on Gardeners' World the other week when he was going round the allotments offering to swap his courgettes for other peoples produce, they all accepted them but I think it was a bit reluctantly & only because they were on TV.Into every life a little rain must fall.
