Hoping for flowers soon.
Anyone growing tomatoes? (The Gardening thread)
Gazuty, We are growing three different types of tomato - a little tip (although you might already be aware of this) - add a pinch of magnesium in the form of Epsom Salts to the tomatoes now and then - seems to boost them. They also need a fair bit of sun - but not burning sun.
Good luck eith them

Can't even remember what bulbs I planted here, but the instruction was to plant in September for spring flowering. I would have expected them to survive a bit of snow!

hardy bulbs are very hardy ... some need very cold temperatures to prepare them for the spring.

You were right, she just decided to have a little nap in the snow.

"you've never seen anything like it"
My tomato plant was doing really well this year. Over 5 feet with about 30 green tomatoes on it - until today's heavy rain. Stem virtually snapped in half. And I even removed my healthy cucumber plant last week to give it room, because I planted it too close to my tomatoes.
I've heard on the local news that farmers have got of lightly, they only lost 50% of their crop.

One for the Calm Corner.
Too much building work going on this year for fruit and veg but the bonsais keep me de-stressed. Started this split trunk Black Pine about 20yrs ago, approx 550mm tall. Some way to go yet, recently a 400 year old specimen sold for $1.3m Pity the earth will be a scrorced barren rock before this is 400yo.

I'm getting my chilli seeds in mid-Jan this year. Earlier the better apparently.
