;D

I'm very happy with how things are growing.

The radish globs are an amazing colour....and they taste quite nice too (never tried them)

Although something seems to be up with the beetroot, leafs are scorched looking, not sure if this will hamper growth.

Also are my tomato plants ok in this plastic greenhouse? They are getting very large and started to flower.

As you say looking good, at least your beetroot came up. We had to cell sow ours to get anything up at all!

Glad you're pleased with that little lot ;D I sowed in modules like saddad and still haven't got carrots to take :'(
Your beetroot look fine, wouldn't worry a bit :)

Chris, its looking lovely - I've sown my beetroot under fleece (with the carrots) so they've maybe had a bit more protection from the sun. I've got 2 tomato plants in a small growbag house, similar to yours, at home - they are doing fine so far.

Thanks very much for viewing my site, astronomy and gardening go together very well.

Soooo tidy!!

Beet (& chard) scorch? I posted this recently - NOT careless watering - so what??

Toms? You're quite mild in Stirling? Might do without the cover but, at least, keep it open during the day. I think! They don't want this heat!
