Barely any plants through here, all be it with a later sowing date. My agronomist gave me hope that it will be OK although will likely not yield as well. Hoping we get some rain soon.

Your doing well then, none here.

I've got swede & red beet seed in a bag here in my office.

Terrible weather, what is going to become of us all.

Edit just checked forecast some drizzle wednesday rest of next 14 days dry.

This is dustbowl comes to Barnsley, I'm out.

Well rain may be on the way.

I shall drill as soon as possible

Others redrilling or waiting to see what comes?

Flea beetle love uneven emergence of swedes, beet different pests.
