3 out and more to come! well done.
I haven't bothered this year, ran out of space due to increased tomato production thanks to the flower bucket fairy.
Having only ever grown them outside don't think I got more than 4 in a whole season, so do hope you get better results indoors.

I'm sooooo looking forward to moving somewhere with direct access to my garden and space for a greenhouse and big shed
Just need to wait for DD to be settled and secure in her own place, next year we start house hunting.

First lot of runners
Second lot planted 3 weeks later
Alderman peas now at near 7' netting put on 'cos sparrows were pecking the blossom off.

Carrots and Beetroot under the mesh and more in the cloche which is 8' long.
Little gems which are almost over but there's more in the beans.
All the beans, peas and lettuce were planted out by my wife while I've not been able to bend and lift.
Tomatoes here are first time in flower buckets and seem to be a lot better than in growbags.





3 Money Maker, 3 Sweetie Seedless from seed I had left from last year, 2 Seedless from new seed and 2 Alicante. Don't know how productive they'll be because I think they are a bit crowded. I've had to selectively remove quite a few leaves to let some air circulate and to be able to see some of the blossom.
Some of the potatoes, 3 bags already eaten.

I'm going to bed. I can't deal with the feelings of envy.



Impressive John.
