No dig diary, 11th June 2026

Another showery day meant that working outdoors wasn’t likely to be fun for long, so I did some watering and planted some peppers and tomatoes in the polycrub.

Since I had my “pepper head” on, I then found some four litre pots and planted up more peppers into them, in line with the suggestions from “Chillichump”. They’ll stay in these until the roots fill the pot and then they’ll be moved into something bigger. Depending on how things work out, I might do a second plant of each variety. My intention is to keep these ones in the greenhouse for the year.

(Tomatoes and leeks photobombing the picture there.)

In the polytunnel we actually have our first tomato. It’s nowhere near ripe yet, but it can’t be long 😀 Sadly my phone camera just couldn’t be persuaded to focus on the actual fruit, so no photo.

Also in the polytunnel, more mushrooms are popping up. I’m really hoping this bodes well for the mushrooms that I’m hoping to grow on logs.
