Allotments 4 All

 :D :D :D :D :D

Managed to get all my tomato plants tied up this morning.

Also squeezed 14 plants into a 6x6 greenhouse.  A bit overkill but hey I couldnt bring myself to put them outside just yet.

Blowing a gale here btw!!  ;)

Looking good Chris, think I will have to pack mine in even closer!

The four Aubergines are looking good as well!
;D

Would i be able too?  I have a few more left over.

SO much sturdier than mine!

Much sturdier than ours too and I've just put the first batch outside. ???

just put some out to harden off, and down came the rain, I could just hear the plants slurping it up  :)

Its strange coz Scotland is having a really mild winter. Wonder if thats why things are growing so well.

I heard that there could be a frost tonight and I have two tom plants outside. Probably best to move them in the green house later.

I love growing these, so addictive!!

I've just had a count up & I've got 65 tomato plants!  I got a bit carried away!  Most of them will have to go outside but I am reckoning on having as many as possible in the greenhouse so they will have to snuggle up a bit.  Plus the aubies & cukes & peppers & chilies & melons .......................  :)

I put all my tomatoes outside in pots last week and they all look fine... it's pretty mild here in Manchester, although a bit cooler today, don't think the forecast cold snap is going to be enough to harm them. And they are in my backgarden lining the house walls, so fairly protected.

I have tried growing them in my conservatory, but somehow tomato plants don't like it in there, all they do is get huge and green, but are stingy on tomatoes, don't think the light is sufficient as there is shading on the ceiling glass.

I grew a few plants outside last year and got loads of tomatoes so fingers crossed if we have the same weather, I should be eating loads of different tomatoes this year. Have put some out called Tigerella and the pic shows lovely stripey toms, hope they taste as good as they look!
Lin

I can vouch for the tigerella, lin..we've got 5 plants this year, they're very prolific, lovely to look at and taste wonderful..mind you, any home grown taste better than the cr*p in the shops  ;D

I don`t mind Tigerella-it`s not one I grow/sell now because I only have limited space . Mind you they did sell well after Conran? and his Chelsea Garden.

I agree on the tigerella, it is one I grow every year as a reliable fruit, seeming resistant to most problems. I have 12 plants in the greenhouse, and about another 8 to go outside ...

Derek :)

Growing Tigerella for the first time this year, and they've produced very sturdy little plants so far, so seems promising.

Yeh i have two tigerella plants, one in the greenhouse just now and one still on the window sill.

Going to move it out later along with the Alicante.

some more pics?



Sungold's first flower buds.
