Update on the Tomatoes.

No pictures of the cucumbers because the kids pick and eat them before I can get to them

Very nice, I have a chilli plant thats fruiting very well.
They are easy to grow, and you get loads of chillis that you can freeze for months later.

Hopefully I’ll try some chilies next year.
It would be nice to see a picture of it, if it’s not too much trouble Mr. Manic01

You can easily ripen them off the vine zad. Plenty advice on how to do it on the net.

3 weeks left to clear up and prepare for this year’s tomato seeds

I stuck my seeds in the indoor tubs, think I may have left to late last year.

I am also thinking of building a couple of grow bag holders, to keep them off the floor etc

Re: Tomatoes & Cucumbers

I only grow grass and that's hard work at times..
Spent most of the last six months putting the gardens straight as was a absolute mess when I moved in...I'm intending to get a load of planters and dirt and start growing a few bits and bobs and herbs etc on my back decking..
In my old place I actually grew garlic...I was very proud of them.

Re: Tomatoes & Cucumbers

If you haven’t started your tomato seeds you need to get your finger out

Unless you intend to buy tailor made

Re: Tomatoes & Cucumbers
