Hello – Weekend here and among various other things today, I got myself into the hothouse and did a bit of organising
Slim pickings when it came to treasure today
Planted some more basil – they seemed so happy in the hothouse I figured they could stay. My outside basil is slooooow
I put the soaker hose around the hothouse so I can run it for a good soaking instead of hand watering all the time.
Less than a week ago I popped a few tomato laterals in a jar of water
This was today:
Roots everywhere. Might send them home with Mum to see if she can get them going somewhere in her garden. These are from the Russian Black tomato. (Yum)
I also took a couple of the advanced self seeded tomatoes out of the hothouse before they got too big and popped them in the outside vegetable patch. Made up a dodgy wind break and will just have to hope for the best.
Next task? Weeding the beetroot. Maybe a tomorrow job!
Hope your weekend is super!
Cheers
Lisa,
That red around your tomatoes is really brilliant! Red is supposed to encourage tomatoes. There is science in it, don’t ask me to explain it because I am a very un-science person. Have a neighbor who has special red plastic on the ground in his tomato patch. Every year his tomato yields are huge, so I will believe that it helps.

Wow – I have never come across that idea before… I will have to go on a stroll through google and see what I can find. Only by luck I had that material – was supposed to be to cover the broccoli one year from cabbage moth but I have some ‘proper stuff’ now
I must say I was really surprised to see both of those tomato plants totally bounced back yesterday looking like they had never been moved!! I will leave the red there and note the progress!! Thanks for sharing that!
