Memory Lane, 18th July 2023: Frankenstein’s greenhouse in use!
I had a few spare tomato and pepper plants in pots, so I thought I might as well put them in the greenhouse where they’d hopefully provide more fruit despite the lateness of the season. The greenhouse was otherwise empty, … Continue reading
Memory Lane, 12th November 2022: This really is the last of the peppers
Today I picked everything that was left in the polytunnel, regardless of whether it was ripe or not. Nothing much useful is going to happen from this point on, so leaving them will just mean they start rotting. Some gorgeous … Continue reading
Memory Lane, 26th October 2022: Is this the last of the peppers?
I’m really not sure, to be honest. It’s not the last of the fruit on the plants and the weather is still very mild, so it may well be that they aren’t. We’ll just have to wait and see if … Continue reading

Harvesting peppers today. Gorgeous selection of colours. Still a few more to come, perhaps, if the weather is good enough for them to ripen.

Not much time to get stuff done today, but I did manage to weed Frankenstein’s Greenhouse for the second time this year. Sadly I think all the plants it contains intentionally are also going to have to be removed too. … Continue reading

More seed-sowing today, to go into the propagator tomorrow after I make some space. A second round of sweet peppers and chiles to start with, though distinctly average germination of my first round of jalapenos means I’m going to need … Continue reading

More dark, windy, rainy weather today, and cold with it, too. So no actual progress in getting stuff done. Lots of seeds are making progress however. Chiles and peppers are starting to appear, together with (I think) antirrhinums and busy … Continue reading

No dig diary, 10th February 2024: How many?!
When I dragged myself out of bed this morning the evidence of an overnight frost was there for all to see, but at least it was sunny and being outdoors appeared quite inviting regardless of the mud that keeps trying … Continue reading

There was a little more sowing to be done today. Mostly tomatoes, but also some Romanesco Cauliflower. This year I’m trying Apero, Olivade, Costoluto Fiorentino (seed left over from last year) and Amish Paste tomatoes, together with some random red … Continue reading

Today was pepper-sowing day, both sweet peppers and chiles. In the main they’re the same varieties that I sowed last year and am hoping will survive the winter in the polytunnel (jalapeno and cayenne chiles, yellow and red Corno di … Continue reading
