Talkback: Sowing seeds for home-made ratatouille
for ratatouille for several years - except that I bought the olive oil and salt and pepper. The last couple of summers have really been a challenge. The tomatoes have got blight and the peppers and aubergines didn't ripen - even in containers on the terrace by DABBLER

Wind damage to your plants..
did find some discoloured leaves on my outdoor tomatoes - could this be the cold winds? or could it be the beginnings of blight? I'd have thought it was too cold for blight yet. And yes, I wondered what planet Monty was on last night. He referred back by Don my Ton

Potatoes (again-sorry!)
crop potatoes the shaws/haulms/storks are sometimes cut off if blight is spotted. You wait the fortnight before you lift, to let the blight spores die off. With new potatoes if they are the size of a small egg; we have tatties for tea ! Kestrel can by Andrea Turner

Hedge or border

Problems with newly planted topiary box hedge.
it on the 'problem page'. However, I now understand you have planted a small box hedge and the leaves on one plant have turned 'copper brown'. Now this could posibly  be 'box blight' and in the interest of preserving the rest, should be dug up & burned. Google 'box by Pauly D

Tomatoes
, heavy with fruit but again, for the third year running, plagued with blight. It is so depressing. Before all this I grew wonderful tomatoes each year which yielded so much fruit that I had to preserve them in olive oil for the winter. I don't know what I by John Reynolds
