Finally, we have the net back up!

So much has been going on in the garden, everything has grown amazingly and started producing for us. I bought three deep growbags and planted out the tomatoes that have been grown in the mini greenhouse and indoors. They don’t look the happiest plants in the world, but as long as i keep watering them, they should be fine. The main problem with growbags, as with hanging baskets and raised beds is that they don’t retain moisture well.

I planted three tomato plants per bag, but a couple of bell pepper plants in each one too. These were bought from a garden centre as a bit of an experiment, we’ll see how they go. One of the plants has a nice little yellow flower on it…which should soon develop into a little green tomato.

I do think the tomato plants look like ships sailing though.

I’m going to try and update daily next week as i’m on half term, and like i said, so much has been going on.
