    Blossom end rot.

    This is most often caused by irregular watering/extreme heat. The plants get too dry then get watered.
    It can be quite difficult to avoid this during a very hot spell as your plants may need water three times a day. Not easy, if you have to go out to work.

    If your toms are still flowering you can still get decent fruit.

    There has been a report recently that says there are only 750,000 hedgehogs in the whole of UK. I hope it is wrong. Have you seen any more of yours, DW?

    He enjoyed the cat food we fed him Fancy, and he let me get very close.

    Liz - I've an awful feeling that one of the local cats got him. We've not seen him since last autumn.
