Hi David, I didn't realise you was on steemit as well. I'm still following you like mad on YouTube ;) [teameggmotor].
btw, I've been trying my hand at growing veggies at my mums house (I'm posting about it on steemit) and a lot of my runner bean flowers and potato flowers are just dying and dropping off. Mums neighbour is having same problem as well as all his gardening friends. The general consensus has been the heat in the UK for the last 3 weeks. Is it heat and/or UV levels??? I've even asked @digitaldan (UK homesteader/grower) about my problem and he's having the same issues further North of my Leeds location. It's not just the commercial growers/farmers having crop failures, it's happening to us little guys to.
Keep up the good work David :)
All the best,

I had a chat with the boss at my allotments today, he has had a couple of plots for 60 years, he got his first when he was 14. He said it's never been this bad, this year was 6 weeks late to put stuff in (too wet) and we have had zero rain for maybe 10+ weeks after that. This is for Midlands, England.
I remember all too well the late start due to the long lasting wet ground. It's gonna be a tough few years for commercial and home-growers alike.
Stock up on beans & pasta while it's still relatively cheap :)
