Here's my list , whats going in your poly or greenhouse this year ?

[Pa Snips]

Currently in my greenhouse are: Tomatoes, Peas, Onions, Spring Onions, Carrots, Mixed Salad Leaves, Lettuce, Cabbage, Broccoli, Strawberries, Chives, Land Cress, Mustard and a Redcurrant bush. In about a month most of them will be evicted and have to cope in the scary old outdoors, while the tomatoes are given room to spread their wings and the peppers and chillies from the windowsill move in to keep the toms company.

Tomatoes, basil and marigolds (french & pot) will be going in mine. Oh, and the 1 aub I have. It's the LAST LAST LAST time I'm growing aubergines.

I've never grown them but I follow a blog by a lady called Nicky Kyle. After years of bad results with aubs she came across 'Bonica' which she says is a great performer.

"You could also sow some early aubergines - 'Bonica' is the best ever variety for home gardeners - I've grown it for 3 years now and it's totally reliable. It came out tops in RHS trials 4 yrs. "

Maybe worth a try???

The cape gooseberries and pumpkins will get pretty big so make sure you have sufficient space.

I'm growing cape gooseberry for the tunnel at the moment. Had 2 but the wind snapped the growing tip off one while I was bringing it back into the house Was thinking of putting it in a corner. Any suggestion on how much space to leave around it? Was planning to grow it up a string like a tomato plant, would that be right?
Thanks

My cape gooseberry was in the middle at the far end of the greenhouse. It reached the roof and had to be restrained with strings and canes. It lived at least 5 years and babies grew from the dropped fruit. Choose the right spot and it will be your friend!!
I wouldn't worry about a snapped off growing tip - mine sprouted all over the place!

Great, thanks a lot. Have only heard good things about them.

I love them! They seem to be ripe when no other fruit is - they're browsing food, like strawberries and raspberries. You can't walk past without eating one! I have a few more plants coming on for this year.
