Little heat wave for the end of summer

Weather suddenly hot and dry, although nights are chilly. I thought the raspberries were done but there's suddenyl a whole load more to pick.

Tomatoes wiped out with blight ...I think I planted much too close together and the netting maybe made them a little damp encouraging the infection.

Sweetcorn finished, all eaten and cleared away. Very successful year for it.

Potatoes not great and the red skinned variety very worm eaten. Possibly as they were planted in poor ground.

Runner beans producing very well, but getting alittle stringy now.

Leaks are excelent even though rust infection on leaves.

Squashes ...about 10 in all ...poor foliage on the plants but the squashes look ok, if a little small compared to last year.
