Greenhouse 1 is almost out of tomato space. 2 bags of GD, 1 bag of rosada, 1 bag of harbinger, 1 left to go. Plus 2 Melon Trees (about 8 melons in each, with room, if I don't kill them, for an aubergine or two at the top), and all the courgettes that aren't hardy enough to go out yet. Although not as many courgettes as I thought. :-/
It looks like I can either have courgettes or butternut in a year, never both. Oops.
Really really really need to get the beans in! And the peas in the ground and not in the greenhouse! At the moment greenhouse 2 is too stuff full with flowers and peas that I can't get the growbags into place to fill them! The GDs in the house are in flower!!
Checked the stray broad bean plant that is growing next to the kitchen window in the grape pot, and it has set its first fruit! Mind you, it's been about a month ahead of everything else for quite some time. I think the heat off the wall must be pushing it forward whilst all the others are having to put their woolly coats on again.
Some little bugger has munched through all of the expensive Shiraz (purple) mangetout which had just popped through the ground in half-pipes in the greenhouse. :-( Why these things can't eat the cheap ones, I don't know!
As of last weekend, all of the potatoes are now in - last 3 sets were a bit rat-nibbled! But that shouldn't make any difference, as they were sprouting well anyhow. So now we have:
* annabel
* rocket
* charlotte
* lady christl
* kestrel
* orla
* maris piper
* king edward
Rhubarb is doing exceptionally well this year. Must be all the rain. Have to keep an eye on it for flowers, though. Pretty though they are, they need chopping off asap - and without leaving a hollow to fill with more rain and cause rot. I also broke one of the crowns with careless picking, but there is so much of it, I doubt it will even notice.
