Hello from Coventry

Hi all,

This is my first year of growing herbs and veg, I've gone to town a bit (never one to do things by halves) I have lots of purple sprouting broccoli which is thriving well, my dog got into the patch which had my leeks in it (boooo). Got lots of herbs in pots and tomatoes in hanging baskets... my tomatoes look as if they might be dying... how can I save them?

As I say, mixed results, but great fun! :-) Once I've mastered this I might take on some other areas of the self sufficientish bible!

My tomoatoes have gone kind of droopy and lifeless. They are the sort which grow in hanging baskets, I know they should be kept warm so I'm wondering if our horrible weather has something to do with it. They seemed to start flowering, but it's all stopped. Should I get some specialist tomotoe food?

Hmmm!!! Ah well, even if my tomatoes don't work out, I'll still be pleased with the progress I have made in my first year... it's all a learning curve anyway! :-)
