I can't wait for my tomatoes to start ripening. I've got some growing quite large now, no doubt they'll start ripening whilst I'm on holiday in a few weeks. I harvested the first of my peas over the weekend. I usually grow Early Onward but I'm having a change this year and have grown Hurst Green Shaft. I'm in the same boat with my cucumbers, no sign of any fruit yet.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-29387222263920309882011-07-11T15:52:01.580+01:002011-07-11T15:52:01.580+01:00It is so hot here lately that everything is dying....It is so hot here lately that everything is dying.

My first three plants turned yellow and died so I have one of the originals left and it hasn't grown in over a month and will not climb up the pole!<br /><br />I bought 2 healthy looking ones from a country market on Friday. They are quite established so fingers crossed they will give me some late fruits.<br /><br />Your produce is looking wonderful, keep up the good work!<br /><br />High summer? Tell the weather please been nothing but rain for four days now. The ground needs it though, still rock solid in places.<br /><br />Martin :0)Martin and Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16156539747964207702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-92221520693819795002011-07-10T18:44:52.562+01:002011-07-10T18:44:52.562+01:00Yes, Anita and Damo, I hadn't really thought a...Yes, Anita and Damo, I hadn't really thought about it, but the Broad Beans do look as if they have been polished!

I just happened to browse through your "Some of my photos". Tucked away in a corner of your blog, I may not have noticed them.
