    Is it too late for me to order some cucumber seeds to grow, would I be better off trying to buy some seedlings?? I have just realised at the moment, I am only growing chillies and tomatoes and think , really, I should diversify a little.

    I think you should be fine if you plant some now, try your local 99p store, they are selling 4 packs of seeds for 99p. Happy growing

    If you want to grow cherry tomatoes in a growbag, I really recommend you try growing either Red Tumbling Tom variety, or Yellow Tumbling Tom variety. They grow no taller than 12 inches but just spread out about 12 inches across like a small bush and bear lots of tomatoes. They have a good flavour and you completely avoid all the difficult problems of canes and supports. But don't grown more than two to a Growbag and keep them well watered and fertilised.
