Then potted most of the tomato plants and all the cucumber plants into bigger pots. I have room for 8 tomato plants in the greenhouse and 4 in the baskets outside so why have I got 19 tomato plants??. There is room for 2 cucumbers - so I've grown 4 and it's the same for peppers and aubergines - more than I need - hopefully to give some away or just in case of disasters.
I spread things out round the greenhouse so they could all get the light and sowed Climbing French beans and the baby sweetcorn.
It's all looking good - touch wood and praying for no hard frosts.
Back Tomorrow

Your gardening made me laugh this morning I have done the same thing myself. one year I grew 4 cucumber plants which was way too much and in the end I went up and down the road posting cucumbers through letterboxes.
ReplyDeleteI bet I end up squeezing in 3 cucumber plants and then have to give loads away
DeleteI once had surplus tomatoes and planted them straight into the garden, on a west facing aspect where they actually got good sunlight for a good 8 hours a day and I got a really lovely crop off them. I am sure you can find somewhere to experiment with them!
ReplyDeleteYes I may well put some out in the garden and hope for sunshine and no wind - Ha Ha!
DeleteIt's a wonderful time in the greenhouse - like running an intensive care unit for baby plants!
ReplyDeleteAlmost the same worry too!
DeleteLovely healthy plants, I'm waiting a couple more weeks before putting anything out. It's so hard to hold back, every part of me wants to get started.
ReplyDeleteI think here in Suffolk we could still get frost until the second to last week of May - there's frosts forecast for tomorrow night I think. Thank goodness for fleece
DeleteIt would be so good if the last of the frosts happened on a certain date then we could all relax about planting out. We had some bad frost damage this year after that warm spell in February brought everything out quickly. I am waiting until later into May for the outdoor Tomatoes in our region in Yorkshire everything is so much later living so high up in the Pennines near to the moors.
ReplyDeleteI got that rubbish compost too - I bought some new better stuff too!
More frosts forecast here - i must earth up the potatoes again
DeleteVery productive and looking very healthy, will be lovely to reap the rewards in a few months xcx
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for homegrown tomatoes
Deletewe've got a few plant swaps & sales coming up here in May - they seem to be a good fundraiser for local charities.. maybe you could track one down in your own area for your toms? ps: Is there a mini-UFO landed in your garden... (the white domed thing)...
ReplyDeleteNo UFOs just a water butt!
DeleteI have got a greenhouse (it was here when I moved)
ReplyDeletebut I am naughty I don't grow vegetables but do grow lots of flowers. I am going to a garden plant sale with my daughter on Saturday.

I'm hoping to get to boot sales for some flower plants for the shabby chic ladder
DeleteIf you don't give your excess away they will sell well at a car boot sale, especially if you label them with their varieties. It's looking very good in the greenhouse.
ReplyDelete
DeleteThat's another idea
You must have been really busy. My greenhouse is only just getting going.
ReplyDeleteI get started a bit too early sometimes and then have to worry about them!
DeleteWell, finger's crossed, my beans and tomato plants are already out against a warm wall. Your greenhouse looks good.
ReplyDeleteNothing outside yet except potatoes - frost forecasts Friday
DeleteDo you plant out your tomatoes later in the season or keep them in the greenhouse? Ours have never done well outside so wonder whether we should try to grow them under cover all season.
ReplyDeleteI keep 7 or 8 in the greenhouse. We used to grow 40 plants at the smallholding when we were growing to sell and they were always in polytunnels. Outside need a long hot growing season but with plenty of water
DeleteHard frosts forecast for this week-end so get out the covers Sue.
ReplyDeleteYes I heard that - fleece at the ready
DeleteYour greenhouse looks lovely. The plants look very healthy.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
