Title: A little experiment
Post by: GodfreyRob on August 20, 2008, 11:54:27
My Aubergines plants have been useless (again) so I have cleared them out and planted some Gardeners Delight toms that I sowed 29th June. In theory they will provide me with toms late into the autumn (well, it might get warmer by then). I have planted some Pak Choy as well as a catch crop between the plants. If I get a reasonable crop I might do it again next year.

Here's some of my Maskotka toms that have sprawled all over the greehouse lifted off the ground with some chicken wire to stop the toms getting mucky and rotting (not to mention keeping off the slugs)
