quite embarrasing but.....

i know to pinch the side shoots from tomato's but please can someone tell me which is the grow tip?? I am new to the growing my own stuff and would appreciate any advice u have?

I played last year with various different veg ( and managed to do well enough to eat most of it ) but this year i'm taking things a bit more seriously.

Thanks in advance for any tips or tricks u may have for me.

Great link Capsid, I like the Garden Action site keeps it nice and simple for me If that pic shows the side shoots then presumably the grow tip is the one at the top?

veggielover - there's nothing embarrassing about asking stuff like that - it's how you learn!

Thank u guys..... after reading a few threads i think i've gone a bit over the top with my veggie growing plans! lol

i have 2 beds in my garden ( south facing ) and a LOT of pots. i also have space for a small bed.

I really like the mediteranean type veg and plan to grow:- Tomato's, peppers, aubergine, courgette and chilli's. Unfortunatly due to size of garden i can't have greenhouse. I have the small plastic growhouses though..... can i grow these veg in there?

other than those exotic veg, i'll be doing the usual carrots. parsnips etc etc.

You can grow in the mini greenhouses, just remember to leave the flap open in the height of summer, gets very hot in there! If you number the shelves from the bottom, 1 through to 4, I took out the 2nd and 4th shelf and then I could have bigger plants and pots in there....
