finally had time to sort out our tunnel. took some pics for you…
i spent the morning stripping back the bottom leaves to allow the fruit to see the light and ripen this also allows the air to flow the keep things healthy. i was delighted to fine a few Stupice ripening and should be ready in a day or two.
cant wait to taste them..
we always plant a few marigolds as they help to deter aphids..
this year we are resting the middle bed as we have grown toms in there for three years. its great to have the space to play a little.. so julian has planted 2 marrows hoping to retain the village trophy. and i have planted a pumpkin.
the runner beans outside are just sitting there waiting for summer to start. but these are doing amazingly…
ildi tomato always amazes me with the number of flowers…
looking forward to the tasting soon

It does look very fruitful in there Sandra, I like your recipe, no need for the salt though, lol, my beans appear to have come to a standstill, reached the tops of my canes but not a flower in sight....
