It seems to have been very widespread and very aggressive this year :-/ The only crumb of comfort was that it seemed to set in fairly late with ours and we were able to salvage at least some of the crop, but very upsetting nonetheless... Our French beans never really got going. Runner beans started off great, but a week without water while we were away, during the only warm spell in August, and they never flowered again. And out of all the herbs I sowed this year, only the curly-leafed parsley really thrived. But for a first-time grower, there were many successes too. And I just love the fact that I'm constantly learning from eveything I do in the garden. It's all grist to the mill. S My tomatoes also had the dreaded blight.

But for a first-time grower, there were many successes too. And I just love the fact that I’m constantly learning from eveything I do in the garden. It’s all grist to the mill.

I do not seem to get carrots to grow right and the blight wiped out my beautiful tomato plants this year. You are right, our mistakes teach us where to go next.
