Not peppers. Forgot to plant some this year. We have big toms and cherry ones. I am the same too impatient. We keep digging the potatoes up and eating them even though they are tiny. Had loads of rhubarb too. Yummy. S x x x x

We have a forest of rhubarb, I guess the wet weather has done that - I havent started on our potatoes yet, I put them in about 6 weeks late, with a bit of luck they'll catch up a bit.  This year I put the toms and cues in my mum's little greenhouse as the big one had red spider mite last year and I need to fumigate it to get rid of them completely

Lucky you. We love rhubarb. Our plant is still quite young. Think potatoes are late anyway this year because of the weather. Oh yuk red spider mites are horrible. S x x x x

I think there are 4 or 5 plants there, I wouldnt be surprised if some of the crowns need splitting again.  I think most things are late this year, I know the strawberry field up the road was nearly 4 weeks later than usual?

I battled with them for a couple of years with organic remedies to no avail so this year I'm going to have to put a sulphur candle in it in the hope it will clear them out

Mostly cloudy with the occasional peek of the sun, incredibly warm and muggy (yuk)
