So today I am continuing to fix up some rigging to support my cucumber and tomato plants .
They are beginning to push up through the greenhouse bench !
Flowering already , it's wonderful and soon we will be eating our own tomatoes again .
The cucumbers are beginning to scrabble about and I'm watching for snails .
There are a couple of flowers on these already . I think you're supposed to take off the first flowers - need to check up on that . In any case I now need to top up the bags with some more fresh compost .
This year I am going to encourage the cucumbers to grow along the rafters of the greenhouse .
There's not a lot of space in here and the cucumbers and tomatoes have to share the space with the cacti and succulent collection . I have shoved all the cacti up along the greenhouse bench as best as I can .
I'm just thinking ....I have still got to make space for the sweet peppers ..oh! I'll squeeze them all in somehow ! Thinking .....could they grow in hanging baskets ?
This year I have put all the tomatoes and cucumbers closer to the greenhouse door for ease of watering and harvesting and still be able to enjoy all my other plants .
I need a greenhouse twice the size ! lol !
Before I go , I just want to say thankyou to my friends Helen and Alice for these lovely flowers !
Oh ! My goodness ! They are beautiful and the Lilies smell wonderful ! Thankyou ever so much !
Have a lovely day everyone ..it's gonna be a scorcher ! 😎🌞☀️ Take care ! xxx
