We have been away for a week on hols in the Lake District, great walking & climbing but far too much cake…
Must have been warm weather here whilst we were away because everything has put on loads of growth. Two casualties in the greenhouse though, both cucumbers which seem to have withered and died..
The two on the right have withered away which just leaves one healthy one… Every year some of the cucumbers seem to get sudden death when they get to about this high. Does anyone know why?! I’ve only got one left the same size which I don’t want to lose, and four that I sowed a week or so ago as a backup. The only thing I can see is that the compost is a little bit on the wet side?
There is more to pick in the flower garden now, managed to pick a couple of small bunches for the house.
Cerinthe Major and Lunaria Alba (Honesty – White)
Lettuce, rocket and chives picked for tonight’s tea..
I’ve given up growing computers, i know they don’t like the rain. They are just a pain in the arse if i’m honest. Tomatoes are so much easier!
I agree, they’re very picky. I am going to give them another go, I sowed some more seeds at the weekend. I going to give them a lot more TLC this time and let them stay in the utility room til its warmer.. The surviving one is doing really well now though on the kitchen window ledge. Perhaps it was too cold in the greenhouse for them or my tendency to overwater things..
