not seen rain for months - but at last, buckets right now- let's hope it will rain heavily like this for a couple of days- then glorious autumn- and hopefully, lots of wild mushrooms to forage.

It’s been absolutely bucketing down here (SW London) and a lot of my tomatoes (outdoors in pots) that were virtually ready to pick, have split. ? And until now I was so chuffed that I hadn’t been beset by blossom end rot or blight or any other tomato nasties.
I’ve always kept them well watered, so it was definitely the deluge wot done it.
I shall be making a pasta sauce later today!
