We spent the afternoon at the allotment digging in containers next to the tomatoes plants- to help water down to the roots. However, the heavens opened up shortly after we left, so it does seem a lot of wasted effort at the moment but it will pay off if we have a dry spell. We also put in marigolds in amongst the tomatoes plants - to encourage the pollinators and predators.
The comfrey is coming on nicely. We are going to soak some leaves in water for a couple of weeks and use the liquid as a fertiliser on the tomatoes ( it has to be watered down before use).
We're still getting some nice strawberries and we picked a few raspberries, black currents and gooseberries - there first of many as long as the birds don't get them first.
