Mixed Success . . .

Past time for a garden update . . .

Starting with the greenhouses - the large greenhouse is doing ok - we've even harvested our first cucumber.  Some of the tomato plants have gone a bit funny (stunted with curled leaves), but most are doing ok and promising to crop well.

The small greenhouse has turned into something of a jungle (compared with the last update) - probably need to thin it out a bit - there are cherry tomatoes growing but unfortunately they are remaining stubbornly green.

The 'onion' plot is doing ok, but on balance think I'll get 'sets' next year rather than growing from seed.  We had a few spare sets given us and they've done so much better.  

We'll probably go with red onions next year as well (ordinary onions are really so cheap you end up wondering if growing-your-own is worth it!).

The real success story is the courgette plants which have come on leaps and bounds and are promising to bury us in courgettes.

The fruit cage is almost done now, but we have the promise of apples in due course - this is the third year since we put in the apple trees, and both the eater and the cooker should do quite well this year.
