    We decided to get an allotment in Bath for the first time ever and happened to have this horrid weather. It is, however, doing extremely well and we harvested a lot so I can't wait to see how it does in a normal year! Thanks for the video very interesting

    That's where I'm going wrong! I don't actually eat them myself, but I do grow them. The family enjoy them, so I don't mind. My grandfather used to put them in a draw in the garage with a ripened tomatoe or in a paper bag. But this seems the better option for me. I learn so much from your channel. ❤
