Lots of difficulties through the month that really, began back in June. Aphids, of course, and slugs, plants took their time to get going and it was a struggle to keep healthy, those that were weakened. Grown from saved seed:
Butternut Squash (Fruit might not come true)
Sunflowers
Dwarf French Beans
Sweetcorn underwent almost total destruction by slugs - the few remaining plants are very small for the time of year and are tasseling at under three feet tall.
The French Beans almost went the same way and many Brassicas lost to slugs too.
Sunflowers seem a right-off except for just one remaining plant from my second-sown batch in April.
Tomatoes that had been strong seedlings began to show signs of failing in June, they struggled through July too...
Peppers that were sickly have bounced back and the Aubergines seem to be doing well.
