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 .
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 .
☀️🌱🌿 Salad days are here again ! 🌿🌱☀️
