Watch out kay,you will get the gardening bug,you can make a good and free feed for them by putting a good handful of comfrey leaves in a container with water

i'v not used comfrey but i put manure in an old pillow case with string round and dumped it in a water but/ wheelie bin

I've got a water barrel with a net full of grow organic floating in it,and I put comfrey leaves in aswell,I hear a water barrel full of nettles also makes a good potash rich feed

Was sitting here admiring the amount of ginger/bumble bees, cabbage whites feeding on my tomato plants. Then I started to think , will the butterflies lay their eggs on the Tom plants , resulting in caterpillars , then damage to the crop ? Just a thought :/

as much sun as possible Kay! If they're getting enough sun in your porch I'd leave them there if they're not in the way.

i got told the other day that if you put a banana or two in the area of the toms it helps them to ripen something to do with the gas they let off

well i'm gonna launch a couple in the greenhouses and see how it goes
