🌿Salad Days are here again ! ☀️🌿

 So I'm in the greenhouse potting up the tomato seedlings into their final pot/bags .

Sitting on the floor , nice and warm , hands in the earth . It very therapeutic !

I am filling these rolled down plastic pot/bags to about a third full . 

Multipurpose compost with a handful of perlite  mixed in .

The pot/bags are standing on trays .

I have re-used these bags , I think now this is the fourth time and they are still good and strong . 

These bags enable me to squash more in than if I used hard plastic pots . 

 💦I gave them each a drink to settle them in  .💦💦💦

As the Tomato plants grow , so I unroll the bags and add more compost . Which gives me time to save up for , find and buy more compost . 

The tiny hairs on the stems turn into roots , which in turn , makes for stronger and healthier plants .

They grow up through the greenhouse bench .

I then fix up string from the bench up to the greenhouse roof .  I re-use the same reel of paracord every year . It's good stuff !

                                    So that's that job done ! 

note - there are many ways to grow tomatoes . Outdoors or Indoors .In the ground or in tubs . This is how I do mine .

Update -  I rushed up to the greenhouse this morning to check they have not all passed out ....but they are fine .

Next job - pot up the Sweet Peppers .

Cucumber update  -  All but one of my favourite Beth Alpha cucumbers died. I have sown another lot ! 

I've also got another variety to try . Cucumber " Party Time " These are also small ones , perfect for just the two of us . 

Cucumbers are becoming very expensive to buy in the supermarket now . 

Time to sow a second wave of lettuce seeds .
