Lots more done this weekend.

Got almost all my tomatoes out in the greenhouse. They are looking really good.

 :P :P drooling at the sight of all those black buckets !!

What is the plant in the pinkish pot ?

[Marymary]

I love the tomato which is in flower - when did you sow it Chris - it's way ahead of any of mine.

mc, I usually get my black buckets from Morrisons - got about 100, but yesterday I was in our local Co-op & asked them what they did with theirs & they said they threw them away.  They are going to keep them for me - too far for you to come but may be worth trying your local Co-op.

If I remember correctly it was around mid january.  Only did it as a test of germination, but i just couldnt get rid of it.  Glad i didnt.

it looks great, and so tidy!! i'm a very messy gardener, no neat rows and there's always at least one unlabeled tray growing in the greenhouse that can't identify or remember planting.

[Chris Graham]

I do my best  ;)

Have a bad habit about things being lined up correctly

[mc55]

hmm, virgo ?  libra ?

Chris - how long have your toms been in the greenhouse?

I pay the penalty for raising mine in the lean-to ...  leggy plants.

Which reminds me - must spread mine out - theoretically the leaves should not touch.

[Emagggie]

Very impressive Chris. I seem to be soooo behind. My toms are still small, but I keep giving them a pep talk in the hope they will be big and beautiful.
Took them to a friend to look after  (housed in plastic greenhouse) whilst we were away. Shan't do that again. They were well cared for, but I don't think they liked being shifted about. Still, they look glad to be home now.

mc55, not Libra I'm thinking. I can't do anything in a straight line-even with a plumb line  ;D

[manicscousers]

libra here as well, maggie, don't like straight lines, can't even walk one.. ;D
hope you enjoyed your break, even if the toms were upset  :)

Chris - how long have your toms been in the greenhouse?

The biggest plant has been in since 25th March and the rest around mid April

Chris. are you leaving the carrots & parsnips in the buckets?  does it work well?

[caroline7758]

Oh dear, Tim, I haven't got room for mine not to touch!

[Mrs Ava]

You really are organised - it all looks really healthy.  Great photos!

For those with small toms, don't worry, they will still romp away and reward your wait with buckets full of juicy sweet toms.  ;D

Chris. are you leaving the carrots & parsnips in the buckets?  does it work well?

Well last year carrots in buckets worked great! Just normal compost.

Not sure about the parsnips as i havent grown them before. ;)

[MrsKP]

theoretically the leaves should not touch.

why is that tim ?  i've read it before but never known why.

::)

Heaven knows, but it's a very old teaching. And I'm sure it it more important than giving root room.

Just been & done mine. Better late than never.
