I sowed some beetroot seed in one of those self-watering troughs.  Another disaster - the compost was absolutely sodden and the beetroots rotted - big mistake.

Oh poor you.  It's not too late to resow, Elaine.  In the veg patch's first year, we sowed beetroot in August and still had a harvest before the year was out - and you know it's going to be an Indian summer... !

Ha ha - I'll believe that when I see it!  But I will re-sow the beetroot just not in the darned containers.

Haven't all containers been self-watering this year, Elaine?

I guess so.
