Windowsill is filling up again with various peppers (hot/sweet) and aubergines, plus lemon grass having been potted on. Already spotted a few pepper flowers open and have been at them with a small paintbrush. There are a few green aphids on some of the plants, but I have a butterwort (from Morrisons so probably incorrectly labelled as Pinguicula weser) that I have been “feeding” the aphids to.
In the greenhouse, the tomatoes are coming along nicely. Spotted a few more fruit set, but when will the first tomato be ripe?
I probably have far too many tomatoes. My mistake was fearing for the worst and sowing replacements of one variety, but the first sowing had actually germinated and done well. Oops. Still, managed to take a few across to my mum’s to look after. All the tomatoes are “heritage” ones. The one variety has very droopy curled leaves.
There are tomatillo plants as well. First time growing those. Also currently living in the greenhouse (well! its an extension from the shed with corrugated roof and “upper” sides) are some heritage kale destined for the garden.
