TWOTWOTHREE 152 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 In a nut shell poor,a month behind if I'm honest,, tunnels are doing ok but the rest is not the best, the worst it's been in ten years,don't get me wrong plenty to eat but the quality is not there, too wet,the broad brand are good but peas are crap, the raised beds are well drained so they will catch up,we need this supposed summer ?
