Haven’t had much of a condensation problem. We have automatic roof vents which don’t take too much sun to open so when we do have warm sunny days in winter maybe there is a more gradual temperature drop?

FFS, after all the other problems I’ve had with my tomatoes this year, woodpigeons have started having a go at the tomatoes in pots I have by the house.
I’m going to have to pick all the tomatoes with a hint of colour of them and ripen them indoors, I don’t think I have anything I could use as a barrier.

Mine are terrible this year - I tried grafted plants for the first time, thinking they'd be stronger and earlier, but no. The snails which are always a problem in my garden have taken to the skies...they're all over the wisteria on the pergola, as well as on the ground. I've lost a few toms to them and dwarf broad & runner beans which I tried in pots didn't stand a chance.
I had better results last year from Lidl tomato seeds.

A problem that we needed to overcome with the four raised beds we’ve taken in the Red Lion garden was lack of a water supply for watering. There’s no outside tap and it’s not really in order to be visiting the pub kitchen to fill watering cans.
The landlord allowed us to get a water butt to capture the rain water from a function room roof. One downpour filled a 210 litre butt, so I got another one yesterday, just in time for this morning’s torrential downpour. Win, win 🙌
