Been reading your diary for about 18months now and my allotment is in the Rhondda valley in south Wales, had my plot for nearly 20 years now, don`t know what I`d do without it!!

The ground down here has been bone dry for weeks, I`m growing Lady Crystl early potatoes, can’t fault them for taste. This time last year i was already picking. I think I`m 2 weeks behind already, but at last we got some rain this weekend.

I have real trouble with clubroot on the plot so this year have tried the "allegedly" clubroot resistant cabbage `kilaton`and the cauli `clapton` and I am amazed at the size of the plants!! look so healthy! i have always grown `stonehead` cabbage and have had good results but have had mixed results over the years with cauli.

So this year everything seems to be far better than last year,hopefully no blight on potatoes this year.dont like using chemicals but even if we do get it the early potatoes should be ok. bought the book,cant fault it,so imformative. will let you know how my season progresses.
