Mr TK gets his legs slapped once again!
I was in charge of sowing all the seeds and labelling them this year, which in my eyes, I did extremely well! However, all the names that were written on the labels have faded, so we have been guessing which varieties of toms are which and also which are the courgettes, cucumbers or squashes.
I was sure that one tray of four plants were cucumbers, so I planted them into the polytunnel. Not long after that we soon realised that I had made a mistake and they were in fact courgettes! A few weeks' ago I dug them out with a very large spade and planted them out into the ground. I was too embarrassed to admit this mistake earlier in case they all died. However, after losing a few lower leaves and looking a bit sick for a week, they are now looking very healthy.
The peppers and chillies could be more difficult to spot the difference for a few months!
Mrs TK has promised me some new labels and a new pen for Christmas!
A very embarrassed Mr TK!

Luckily I only have about 8 toms I am not sure about but the peppers & chillis are a bit of a problem. I think the two in the main greenhouse are peppers, probably...........
