Anyone growing tomatoes? (The Gardening thread)

[Derek27]

My first blade of grass. I've named her Sophy.

Hedgehogs are pretty strange creatures. They come into your garden and then turn into garden ornaments and don't move!

I've left it a saucer of grated cheese but it's currently facing the corner of the wall and doesn't know it's there.

It's eaten the cheese and buggered off.

Not sure this is happy, but anyone else noticed the vegetation seems to be going berserk? Don't remember seeing wild grass over hip height for years.

Yes, with all the rain we're having. But my vegetables are suffering. They're not growing in the cool summer.

spoke with a random farmer this evening (while waiting for a takeaway) and he said that weather has affected everything and 1st noticeable things will be (in sept/oct) lack of variety and higher prices. beyond that, he said there were certain shortages going to occur.. not a doom-monger, but!!

I'd stock up on jalapenos (and chillies) if this is anything to go by.

What a stupid plant - covers its flower with its own leaves!

I'm pleased about the recent rain. My border was struggling.

I think the recent rain has brought me some peas. I hadn't even noticed these pods growing.

The general rule of thumb is to sow seeds three times deeper than their diameter and this rule holds true for propagating houseplants, too. Some seeds, like those of the African violet, are so small they only need to be set on top and not covered, as they easily nestle into the soil.

I guess that explains why none of my African Violets geminated!

After three years of trying, I've finally got my peas.

I've fitted a toilet light for my cat.

Would you like a floodlight on you when going for a secret crap?

You may be right; she's stopped using her corner.

My cauliflorose brings all the gardeners to the yard,
And they're like AHH WHAT THE FUCKIN FUCK IS THAT??
I'll get some shots of the Big Zac tomatoes in daylight tomorrow, they're some freakishly big Chernobyl looking things

I've just discovered, pineapples don't grow on trees - it's a plant!!
