I have fuscias (sp?) strawbs and poppies still going!
Zaz how the heck did you avoid blight on your toms for this long?

I dunno! Just did.

They are in a courtyard so no through wind. Possibly.

Picked a small dish of raspberries today, realy strange conditions.......

I think you lot need a holiday in west Cumbria, that would show you what real weather is

battered by severe gales for the last week and now the icy wind cuts right through you, frosts forecast tonight and snow for the fells.

You couldn't possibly have outdoor toms up here, they'd have been blown into the next county

I still have fuschias flowering and t'other day I picked a BNS (finally I got one this year) .........

I had a holiday - we passed through Cumbria. Bloomin' glorious it was. I did post about it at the time.

It's still holding up mild here (the posh bit of Essex).
It is strange, i'm gonna have to cut the grass again...in December!
Its affecting the fishing too, they dont know if they're coming or going.
Veg wise, everything is growing nicely still, onions have come through well, shallots all sprouting.
Still crossing my fingers for some white stuff on the 25th (just for the kids...honest!)

Was it July? I remember that thread cos we went campin in Scotland and it was bladdy boiling. Himself got a bit of sunburn

Our toms in the blowaways have been ignored since October, mainly cos they've been rubbish, but some are still alive. On our new plot, our neighbour has a yellow pear shaped cherry bush tomato plant still going strong. No protection/cover whatsoever.

Nope.

End of Sept - early Oct.

Did you get a frost last night zaz? The one here has pretty much battered all my 'tender' (even in the GH) crops.

[DGoulston]

My Jalapeños are still flowering, and I have 1 tomato plant outside, that I chopped off at the base and it decided it was not done and now has tomatoes growing on it still haha.

...speaking of which I think I'm going to try grafting a few spare toms next year (as per the mag). Possibly even my aubs too, seeing as I always fail with those.
