you'll never guess what! I have an open flower on my pepper plant too!! Maybe my luck has turned, or perhaps a green fingered goblin has moved in? Either way, what do I do now?

It is now hailing in North London and my pots of tiny chilli and peppers have been crushed. They only came out of the greenhouse for some sun and fresh air. and I can't get out to rescue them

Of course you can. The plants come first every time, even before your hair. Get wet and get them in.:p

I gave in and put on a woolly hat and a coat with a hood and rescued them. In my defence I had gone to the hairdresser this morning.

Will be harvesting the first of my pak choi tomorrow. Can't wait.

I have several mini tom plants that only grow up to 30cm high. What size pot do you think they should be in for their final pot?

I've had VG results from bush tomatoes in flower buckets - 99p for 8 in Mr M. 1 plant per bucket. Use a knife to cut a couple of drainage slits in the bottom.

Could be a lot of things. Compare symptoms with this list to pick out what the deficiency is:

Harvested and ate my first pak choi of the season yesterday. So much more flavour than a shop bought one.

Courgettes not doing much since they were planted out. They have got large flower buds on them. Should I start to feed them or do I need to wait until there is some fruit on them?
