July!

The tomatoes are up into the eaves and the first fruits are ripening. My lonely cucumber plant has set its first fruits so they won't be long either.

All the pepper and chilli plants are enjoying the hot weather, but the chrysanthemums on the floor aren't quite so keen. I'm still not really sure what to do with them, maybe stand the pots in gaps in the border next month.

Most of the other bedding stuff has gone out now, but next year's wallflowers and sweet williams are starting to take up space. I need a bigger garden!

July 3rd

GH No 1



A self sown tomato in about 2-3" of soil as this GH is on a solid floor. I'm leaving it to see how it copes with minimal soil depth.




GH No 2



On the high shelf - some of the early toms sown in January.

Back from a 2 week trip in the motorhome.



Greenhouse 1 is a bit dry. Autopot systems ran dry , but the Toms are ready .



Greenhouse 2 faired better , although the cucumbits are a bit limp.

Looking very bare now, even emptied one of the water buts, cleaned it and now stored inside for the winter, still have one butt on the go for the butternut squashes, but the feed drain pipe has been removed, no need for any more rain water now.



Plenty of potted up strawberry runners for next years new bed, I will sink the pots in the soil after I've cleaned the glass and metal work later.

I had a HUGE tidy-out of nettles and raspberries growing into the greenhouse a couple of weeks ago and now just have one bench of tender plants like Cannas and Brugmansia and some Wallflower plugs.

I've got a few days off this week so will move the plants and bench outside so I can give the glass a wash down and then it'll be all sorted to over-winter stuff in.
