Tomato blight

A very sad weekend as Sylvester passed away on Sunday leaving a very empty space at home and a very confused Spikey as to where his brother was.

We also got to the allotment and found that we have lost nearly all out outdoor tomatoes with blight which means that all we could do was pull them up and destroy them. We still have about 10 plants in the greenhouses but due to the constant change in temperature and unpredictable sunshine these aren't looking great.

It is lucky that we are not totally relient on what we grow to eat, as this is it now that the early raspberries and the rhubarb crops are coming to an end.
