View from the greenhouse door 2017

[craftymarie]

The greenhouse is the only place to be in this wet weather!



On the left are bush tomatoes with fruit on which is slowly ripening, container tomatoes, some red basil. In the border, lots of different cordon tomatoes, a couple of French beans (1 dwarf) some lettuce which seems to do OK in the shade of the tomato leaves, some sweet basil and a couple of cucumber plants tucked at the back with flowers on.



Top end border has some lovely lettuce which I've started to eat - that's done better than I thought it would in the heat of the greenhouse. And some radish which is useless as roots but am using the leaves for salad.



Right side border has aubergines, peppers and a couple of courgettes. Will see how those get on.



Right side staging has too many tomato plants in pots, some strawberry plants, mangetout growing on before planting out and some peas I'm growing in a tray for shoots.

I've just planted all the rest of the squash and courgettes into a raised bed and put the extras into the cold frame to hopefully squeeze elsewhere in the garden on a warmer and drier day!

Excellent, very tidy looking Rhino you've got there.

Plenty going on in there Marie.
My cucumbers coming on nicely.

[craftymarie]

Oh lovely, you'll be eating fresh cucumber very soon! I can't wait until mine are ready.

Another salad crop I can't eat, I'll be glad when I get this gall bladder removed and I can hopefully eat what I like rather than what won't give me a bad tummy.

Can you not digest it if it's peeled Burnie. I can't eat it with the peel as it gives me heartburn.

I have a hiatus hernia as well, get an endoscopy on Thursday that will hopefully confirm if both can be sorted at the same time and maybe I will be able to eat cukes and lettuce again, just now it's not possible. Been going on for a decade now, only just had the gall stone problem confirmed recently(well earlier this year) when admitted to my local hospital in a lot of pain after a cheese salad sandwich seemed to tip the balance in the wrong direction. 6 foot 4 ex rugby player felled by a cheese butty.

My first tunnel





Lots of space for the melons to grow along the bench.
Breeze my little gardening helper is never far away.

The little tunnel





I'm expecting Humphrey ( the pumpkin ) to take up a lot of space in here soon. Very pleased with my carrots so far this year as well.

The big tunnel ( chilli tunnel)





Breeze likes the new big tunnel, he liked it better before the palettes were put in !
And he's going to be very disappointed when his carpet gets moved to an even smaller area.
Lots of space for my chillies to grow into, and maybe a bit of space for a couple more!

[Bigmallly]

Excelente.

I'd be happy to have just one of your tunnels, SP. They're all fantastic - and so tidy! Even Breeze is tidy

[burnie]

Wish I had a bit more room for a tunnel, but no regrets with the medium sized greenhouse instead.

View today, eaten all of the early radish, nearly eaten the first crop of strawberries, but being perpetual, more flowers on their way. Wifes eating the lettuce, webs and mixed, not cut an iceberg yet. Tommies and peppers/chillies in flower and the sweetcorn is doing well too.

Played about with mine today!

Really don't get time these days which is a shame!


Anyway!





Thank "Gawd" I is off in the morning!
