Arry 21,380 Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Well nothing is moving very fast these cool temperatures. Runners look like somebody is camping in the garden Lol. I think they look alright on the inside though. Spuds in tubs doing okay but they are dragged in the shed every night. Three row of different Little Gems ordinary Little Gem, Intred Gems and Moon Red Gems. Onion sets are away and Carrot just showing, just planted out some Beet root this morning. Fleecing Toms every bloody night and Cucumbers are taking over the bay window, they need to go out to the Green house and bigger pots. Perhaps next week need it to warm up but it don't look that good really plus its dry as a chip here. Cheers Arry 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've got tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers to go in the plastic growing house, hoping to do that Sunday. Cheers Aled 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
