I have had it with the strawberries
next year will be their third and theoretically last year so I have bought a couple of troughs and will transfer them there. I can move the troughs around the garden to make the best of the sun.I am going to put a few raspberries in the raised bed
at least the blessed slugs and wet mould shouldn't get them.

Re: Veg Garden Harvest
What a show of tomatoes! Both Barry and I have had a bad year with toms. Too wet and too cold.Are they in pots Mav? I ask because Meg has hers in a pot, and it is doing well.
Hubby decided today, that next year we are going to grow ours in the greenhouse in gro-bags, I like the idea but I'm concerned they might end up like triffids and take over
We are going to move our strawberries too Meg, I've rooted some runners, so I may get rid of the old plants. I'm running out of space, moving things about
Ideally, I need to dig up a bit of lawn but I don't think hubby would like that I think the trough is a great idea.

Re: Veg Garden Harvest
Below these fruit trees are my compost bins and every year they produce tomatoes from the seed in the garden waste.I remember my old man's greenhouses in the UK just to grow tomatoes here they just grow outside. I don't bother to grow them myself other than the ones that seed themselves. I do grow a lot of chillies unfortunately they rarely survive the winter so have to replant each year.

Re: Veg Garden Harvest
Had a little tidy of the bench in the greenhouse earlier, after I had sat in the shade to tidy the hanging baskets..but it was over 40C in there! So, I did a lot of fuschia and geranium cuttings, got them in little pots and in trays, popped them all on the bench, gave them a good watering and got out pdq
I did notice that my two chillies are turning orange..but my sweet peppers are still very small
I'm still picking runner beans, and they are flowering like mad again
How nice Bruce, the citrus trees - lucky you.
and 'free' tomato plants..I did once get a couple of seedlings from a cherry tom that self seeded. I don't normally grow them in the greenhouse either.
