All good things come to an end.

sorry about the lack of updates recently iv'e been rather ill with swine flu no less, but all is well now (ish) and i'm back.

All things seem to be coming to an end now. my beetroot have all been harvested and eaten, they were on the small side but I think that was due to my tomatoes dominating the soil and light. My sweetcorn was a spectacular failure, all was going well it grew to about five feet in height and four sweetcorn's formed but alas they never developed yellow teeth they went brown or stayed green. This was a great disappointment but its all part of the learning process, so I cant moan to much.

The tomatoes I grew have been by far the most successful plant I have grown this year and there still forming flowers and fruit to this day. I generally get around fifteen tomatoes a week which covers the needs of my girlfriend and I. I water them twice daily and give them tomato food every two weeks. As its the getting on to the middle of October they seem to be slowing down a little now but this is to be expected.
