Hi all, been away again - ill this time though.:(

Anyhows, I finally have toms & beans!:j Only arrived this week though.

Fay, I planted late (april) & have only just got my fruits through, but there is plenty of time left, so don't panic! Hopefully a nice warm spell in the next 2 months will do us all good.

I have 4 pepper plants growing quite well, but no flowers yet. Again I planted late april. Can anyone guide me on how soon flowers may occur please? In addition, how big will the plants grow?

Hmm, I thought I had sideshooted properly but will check again. the cherry ones are a bush variety so obviously haven't done those. I also know i need to take off the growing tip now as most are at the top of the greenhouse and have nowhere else to go. Does anyone have a pic of their tomatoe plants they could post so I should see how mine should be looking by now, i.e. sideshooted properly? Thanks guysOh and Sambucus I can't recall what the tomatoe feed is called, I shall have a look at the weekend and repost-I got it from wyevale and it has a red top ha ha

Suncherry? Indeterminate....AKA Vine tom.

Does it say on the packet they are a Determinate/Bush? They don't look like it.

How am I doing John?



I'm comfortably ahead of my mates at this stage.

I think that's one of those rulers they use to show the space on show houses, ie half the size.

Yeah, I borrowed it from you after you'd measured your sunflowers. :whistle:

I almost said that :rotfl:

My early one has topped out quite short, but with one huge flower and 5 smaller ones above it, looks quite amazing.

The 2nd challenge one is growing..... but it's still tiny

mrbadexample

Both my varieties are about 7' tall. Some are flowering, but the giant ones just keep going.
