View from the greenhouse door

View from the polytunnel door yesterday. The huge mass of peas on the left is obscuring broad beans, onions, cabbages and calabrese. First batch of tomatoes and squash plants are in on the right.

The morning after the day before


Seems the chillis and peppers survived the 35degs yesterday, embarrassed at how dry they are now.. (reminder to self .. water them!!)
Tigerella and Harbinger toms doing ok, tumbler going mad in baskets, first indoor kohl rabi ready to be harvested (amazingly fast cropper in the gh), Frise de Beuregard lettuce is the find of the season, and the oak leaf lettuces as reliable as ever. The Nepeta in pots have all come from scraps of 'dead' looking root cuttings last year..didn't think they stood a chance but they came back stronger and bigger than last year.

How did you grow the kohl rabi in the greenhouse I fried both my sowings

[Ericthehalfabee]

Sowed the kohl rabi seeds in plastic modules and kept them on the lower, shaded shelf of the staging to germinate and grow a bit. Transplanted them directly into the raised bed in the gh when they were a couple of inches high and watered every other day. Did the same with them when I had a polytunnel on the allotment and they duly obliged there also. The downside is that for the size of each mature bulb (or whatever it's called) they do take up quite bit of space once theyre grown. I usually plant a dozen in a patch a couple of feet square, which is well worth it.

The polytunnel today with my assistant!

[WillyNelson]

Yesterday evening. You can almost see the tomatoes growing! I'm hoping the cucumbers will catch up soon but I'm worried about the peppers (back left) as the still seem rather short.

I'm almost ashamed to put my photos up - you lot keep your GH's spick and span. In my defence it's my newspaper path that looks messy

GH 1
Peppers and cues

Peppers and chillies

My early toms.

My later toms

GH2

More toms, and a pepper in the corner
The other side is pretty much the same with a couple of cues and a pepper or two.

Purple Ukraine spotted today. How did I miss those?

April Fool's Day 2013


Today


My Lettuce mmmm.


Admittedly I need to get my staging in and pot a load of things on and tidy up etc etc... But, Rome and all that.

[Potstubsdustbins]

That Lolla Rossa looks good. As a CACA you could start on that right now.

Yup, we've had some off of a few of them already. Don't think salad leaves or herbs will be on the shopping list for quite a while.

Got spinach, rocket, basil, parsley and coriander plus a few types of lettuce. Which reminds me - I must sow more basil if I am to get to make myself pesto. The OH decimates a whole pot each time we have pasta. I really need to sow 10 pots every two weeks to keep up! :\ Perhaps 20 and I might get some for my own use.

Things are looking much improved.
