Hi, I didnt grow tomatoes outside last year (purposely)as the year before everything collapsed in a disappointing black heap but I did have some self sown plants of Broad Ripple yellow currant. I have had these plants annually in my garden for several years now, I never sow them,they are volunteers from the previous year and they crop until very cold weather stops them and I have never had them troubled with blight.So grateful am I that I leave them growing in all sorts of places ,including the sweet pea row where they grow quite tall. There are perhaps some with a better flavour and they do tend to split but are never the less very worthwhile. Just thought I’d share that with you.

Hi Charles and thanks for your prompt reply. Sorry, I have another query now. I am itching to get on with the muck spreading but the periodically frozen ground keep holding me off I keep doing a bit every time temps. rise a bit.My question is ,if I continue top dressing whilst there is frost in the ground is this detrimental, will it slow down soil warming at all or is it too miniscule to worry about considering the potential gain?
thanks again
