this morning nice and early i cropped up my two best little gem lettuce and a small handfull of beans. i must say it is so true when gardeners say " what you grow tastes better than what you buy", oh darn this is so true. my salad bap's are a winner in the house and two baby lettuce disapeared in under an hour.
i have two lettuce left, and promissed my godson he could have one for himself and his mum.
new addition too the veg family are two sunflowers. the godson had problems so we shoved them into my yard and boosted them with some ferts.
PEPPER !! omg pepper has flowers. i started these peppers indoors in mid march and think they are stunted. my biggest plant is around 1.5ft high max but has a very nice clutch of around 6 flowers. a lovely crisp white with mottled black centers. just a slight knock of the branch and they sprinkle pollen everywhere. Next year i will grow peppers indoors so i can keep the soil at a constant temp that what there is in greenhouse.
moneymaker heirlom tomatos now have two flower trusses and are now around 4ft high im going too top them at 4-6trusses and around 5ft these should then fit just nice inside the GH. One big problem is my roma plum tomatos, these at only 7inch high have started too dump sugar and produce flower trusses. i have removed them and will top plants around 3ft high these will take place over the lettuce once harvested fully.
Cucumbers, i now have three smallish plants at 4ft high and producing handfuls of flowers. 8 male flowers have now become cucumbers and are growing bigger every day.
Feeding. each growbag recieves 1 gallon of water every three days and 1 feed every two weeks.
