Indian Shot plant. They seem to put on growth daily. Roots are showing so time to pot them on.

Various Peppers. These were planted the same time as the tomatoes in early February. The growth is slower so will not be potted on until late April.


Aubergine. Growth looking to big for the 3 inch pots. However the root growth is small in comparison. So will not pot on for a couple of weeks.

Tomatoes. In total i have 30 plants at various stages of growth. These are Fantasio sown Feb 4. Will plant these into their final position end of March

Notice the green powder on the tubers. This is sulphur I put on prior to overwintering to deter rot.


Begonia Tubers that have been overwintered in the garage, are now basking in sunshine. These were put in the greenhouse 3 days ago and already sprouting new shoots.


My Blue Peter badge is in the post.


The access is to the right of the picture. Weighted down with batten.

Growing inside are Carrots and Onion sets.


A batten was fixed to one edge of the enviromesh. With the batten then secured to top of the raised bed.

Hooped cloche


Having just pruned the conifers to my garden border, I was left with a good amount of branches. These were stripped of all foilage and easily bent to form a hoop to take the enviromesh.
