Tomato's and Cucumbers sorted...The rest is work in progress...

Crikey, do you ever halt Lincs:)
You've some terrific colour and I'm glad you've got the veg sorted.
I was blethering with my neighbour over the fence last night, he was potting on his tomatoes, they were huge. He lost his concentration whilst talking and one of them snapped. How awful did I feel!

Nice to see that you've got tomatoes and peppers. I said I'm not going to have any this year, but I think I will try them again.
I'm glad to see you have company too lol ...

Scottish I'm sorry but that made me laugh, I have hundreds spare, lol, I hardly see my neighbours these days so no-one to have a natter with, I get right moody when stuck indoors, mind you its easy when retired, don't have to clockwatch..

LOL, Hywel I tell myself that every year but once the bug hits its hard to let go, if theres a gap anywhere I'll fill it with something, as to the company they are my shadows, I have to bribe them if going somewhere without them....

I bought my toms again from a local nursery, I'll tell you which when 've made a list

I've grown melon, eventually got a couple of small ones, main problem was to get male flowers and female flowers open on the same day!
I think my plants must have been shy :0)
I had to hand pollinate too.....

did better with the squash,
I kept them in pots in the gh and fed like toms, only allowed them to have 2 fruit.
they straggled everywhere.....
I picked the first too early, all the green had gone but it was tasteless almost soapy
so left them on the plants until the leaves withered and died
then kept a bit longer.....
enjoyed them then but won't do it again....

love all the colour in your garden, I like you have to move stuff out to set out my toms......hoping no more frosts.....

Crikey Lincs you are a busy bee! Love how your greenhouse and garden looks, so tidy and the flowers are coming on a treat. I have roses in bud but no where as near as yours to opening up, but we are a bit sheltered here by the wood. Lovely morning again so off outside next to see how my seeds are doing. Well done on being so organised - you will have a scrumptious load of tomatoes soon. :O)

Wow! That greenhouse is looking great! I am very envious! I am really missing being able to grow my courgettes (they don't do well outdoors here), cucumbers etc. hopefully next year! Everything is looking great!

List of this years toms for this year......these are cordons
pearldrops
sungold
golden sunrise
sweet 100
ailsa craig
moneymaker
bush I grew from seed
Vilma
that is a new variety for me as is pearldrops

last year the smaller varieties were a month ahead of the normal size, and supersweet 100 trusses were very long and very sweet

I grow the normal size to freeze for chilli, roasted veg, soup etc.
now it depends on the weather.....even in the gh!

lovely to see your pals in the garden xxx

Is Non-Stop your middle name Lincs? i feel quite tired just reading what you've been doing. It makes my three tomato plants look rather pathetic!
That's a grand grumpy pussycat, and what a beautiful coat. (The flowers are good too by the way!)

looking great, im behind with my cucumbers, iv only just started germinating mine, ans just got a few tomato plants in a growbag, my other half deals with the potatoes and has wee green bits popping up just now. like you i have done the konsa cucumbers so we will see how we get on x

" ... cos I’ve put the packet of seed in a safe place and we all know that means buy another packet and then they’ll turn up.."

Exactly what happened to me not very long ago! In January I bought a packet of Lettuce seeds. I later sowed some in the greenhouse, in a seedtray. Later I transplanted them to the GH border. A couple of months later I searched high & low for the half packet of seeds I'd saved, they didn't appear anywhere so eventually I bought another packet. The old packet turned up a few weeks later - I'd put another seedtray on top of the old packet!

You're putting me to shame too, Lincs with your industriousness. I have a seemingly endless list of jobs which doesn't seem to be getting any smaller. You've done so well with all the veg and your garden is looking lovely and colourful too. That's a gorgeous red rose and the ceanothus is looking good.

Forced to stop due to the weather, couldn't even work in the g'houses as I've run out of flipping compost, grrr!!! on the plus side I now have a shiny house again as I had time to use the dusters as well as the hoover, lol.....
T'bear I'm not that organised, the colour stain for my sheds and fencing is still hidden away in the garden shed, its only been there for about 4/5yrs, lol, its on my arountuit list, however I have a very tall grandson who often asks if he can do some jobs to earn himself some money so I might just get that sorted this year....

Balcony I also have a nasty habit of doing that with my handtools, lol....

Just caught up with this blog, and exhausted following all your activities with the veg! Nice to see someone else uses their bench as a plant stand. I love the grumpy face, it's full of character and his playmate is gorgeous too :)

I have an aroundtuit you can borrow for a while if it would help...
