Potato and Tomato update


Batch 3 of potatoes looking pretty good. I picked the green tomatoes today and pulled up the plants.

This was a great year for tomatoes - no disease, all plants fruited well. Probably due to the great summer we had, after several bad summers.

Chrysanthemum update

Butternut Squash harvested



Harvested 2 butternut squash. The third one has grown through my anti-fox barrier so is not retrievable. That's all the squash - some more started growing but shrivelled up.

Pelargonium cuttings completed


Didn't quite have enough pink cuttings, so slightly more red than pink in total.

Pelargonium cuttings started

I took 60 cuttings from red pelargoniums today. Hope to do the same with pink-flowering plants tomorrow.

Looking a bit droopy - don't remember that happening last year. There was a cold wind today - maybe that affected the cuttings.

Looking slightly less sparse than earlier.
