    I only grew three plants from seed in my plastic greenhouse and they are still turning red. I have only the top fruit left now and they are still more than enough. I haven't bothered to freeze a load down like I have previous years for soup. Cannot be bothered any more.

      All my greenhouse toms have either ripened or are ripening, the slow "blight" has ruined my outdoor crop but fortunately NOT effected my covered crop!

      My one remaining cucumber has come to life again, picked the one and only ripe chilli.....

      treetreetree year but I won't give up!

                  Losing them all Jack! What a shame after all your hard work this year. I hope it hasn't put you off.
