I guess we may be colder in these parts, but also dryer, so perhaps blight is even more problematic where you are? Last year I delayed lifting the spuds far too long and, as a result, we suffered a lot of blight damage. Determined not to make the same mistake again I lifted the first tubers yesterday, and was rewarded with a good crop of Charlottes. I took the risk of planting them early and that has paid off, there had been some frost damage to the tops but nothing too significant. Enjoyed a cheesy leek bake (leeks our own crop from the freezer) with the spuds for dinner. We share our allotment with 2 other families, but our co workers have been self isolating so I've had to do most of the graft this year. Turned out to be a godsend as it has kept me and the Mrs busy during lockdown and provided an opportunity for socially distanced conversation with the other plot holders. Last week we held an open air spaced apart committee meeting - fortunately the weather was kind.

Ticking over, which is better than I expected during the pandemic. 15 for $282 Not seen a $$$ sale for a long time.

John they grow very well outdoors, even in our relatively cool climate in the NE. I grow them in big hanging baskets and also in large pots, the bigger the better, and with a bit of height to lift them off the ground to give space for the trailing tomatoes. They aren't as sweet as Gardener's Delight, Sungold etc, but they are tastier than the things you buy in the shops. Blight can be a problem, but I've always managed to get a good crop before they have succumbed. I use a mix of bought compost, leaf mould, some sharp sand and a smidgeon of blood fish and bone. Using my tablet at present, but I'll include a photo tomorrow. This year I'm also growing Gardener's Delight outdoors, in a protected spot at the allotment. So far so good, they've survived a cold spell and have plenty of fruit appearing, but they aren't quite as vigorous as Tumbler and involve more work as you are best growing them as a cordon, while Tumbler is just left to get on with it!

Allan, I recall driving to work in Lincolnshire many moons ago, during a cold winter, and skidding on black ice. Fortunately I was able to conrtol it and no harm was done, so gan canny when out and about during the colder months. Started to lift the overwintering Japanese onions, some had gone to seed (maybe due to that long hot spell in May), a few with signs of rot at the base, but a good number OK. I'll probably keep some for immediate use and cut up the rest to freeze, rather than risk storage. Those planted this year are still growing and look to be better. A couple of tomatoes have started to ripen, just turning from green to orange red. Oddly only one plant in the greenhouse (Gardener's Delight) and only one outdoors (Tumbler). No doubt folk in the deep south will have been eating theirs for weeks.... Intending to lift the first spuds tomorrow, interested to see what they will be like

Brilliant, thanks Wim!

Thanks folks, that link states that they have different diameters, so another solution required!

I'm after a Sony bayonet to M42 adapter that is considerably shorter than that required to mount standard M42 lenses on my E mount a6500. I want it to connect an existing set of M42 bellows to the camera. Just wondering is the Alpha A mount bayonet dimensionally the same as the E mount, as that adapter is very short and would do the trick?

Thanks for that useful feedback on FAA Phil. I had a free account a couple of years ago (25 images max) and made one sale. I opted out when Alamy starting talking about exclusive images, but jumped back in recently when it became clear that didn't apply to POD. I've now had around 300 photos on there since Xmas, but, despite plenty of views, ( maybe largely Bots?) I've yet to make an additional sale. Rather surprised at what attracts the most visitors, i.e. old B&W scans of steam trains from the UK, while my more arty stuff doesn't do nearly as well. Patience needed perhaps...

Not a beautiful image, but one of my earliest uploads and never previously sold, so maybe a warning not to delete the non sellers! Taken during a particularly cold visit to Paris in January 2009. The frozen Fountain of the Innocents. PU low $$
