So far...
A few updates of everything else:
Beetroot: Medwyns seed, poor germination from 5 sowings, 7 beetroot came up and about 20 chard????????????? hmm I dont remember ordering a mixed bag. Over 100 beetroot growing away nicely in the allotment.
Runner beans: Beans at the top of the poles but Blackfly every week despite spraying. Flowers dropping off from the attacks and bees extinct in my area due to farmers. Small beans appearing, hope they pick up. All non show runner bean varieties doing amazing.
Carrots: Long carrots starting to really grow now despite constant aphid attacks that just would not die. Stump carrots looking great, just hope they dont come to early.
Potatoes: Looking good despite me never looking after them as I find them boring.
Tomatoes: All looking good, except the odd blossom rot on the tomatoes in the bags.
Cabbage: Again I dont look after them but they seem to be growing away nicely despite a baby rabbit who lives in between them but doesnt eat them.

Hi Liam. Your Parsnips and Leeks seem top class to me and every thing else looks well, good luck with the showing, but by the look of them im sure you will do ok, OH by the way not all farmers are bad. Cheers james
Hi James
Thank you, Oh yes we have some really good farmers in England. I went to visit a farm the other day that always cut there fields from the middle to ensure minimal animal damage. I understand they need to make a profit and need to spray just like us amature gardeners but the farmers in our area have no concern for anything.
We have the old BS farmers that kill every badger going and plough right into the hedge to ensure everything dies.
