Just noticed a tomato turning colour: it is orange - the first of the season! Only one tomato though, others still as green as ever.
Elsewhere, slugs/snails have finally killed off all my heritage dwarf french beans. Grr. I won’t use slug pellets. I will resort to beer, though it is a bit late for this season. Also thinking about Nemaslug, though this would affect only young slugs – no good on snails and the big slugs.

After slugs completely decimated my courgettes i used advanced slug pellets from the organic garden catagloue, i swore i would never use pellets but they have really helped, and are safe around other wildlife..
