In last week’s post I was bemoaning the lack of success in the vegetable garden and while things were not as productive as I’d like in the polytunnel and greenhouse, in general plants fared better and produced more there.
We’ve had a pretty constant supply of lettuce and greens from the polytunnel. The cool temperatures made it a perfect growing environment for them, and it is only in the last week that we are a bit short of lettuce though still doing well with mustard greens and rocket. There are more lettuce plants on trays waiting to be planted out – endives and winter destiny lettuce.
In the greenhouse the tomatoes have actually done pretty well, and though they weren’t enough cucumbers to pickle there have been plenty to eat fresh each day
With our beans doing so badly outside I planted some late in the greenhouse and polytunnel. Some are already producing – not many, but a nice bonus.
According to the packet these are supposed to be dwarf beans but they seem happier climbing up some bamboo canes!
looking great…

How delightful. Wonderful varieties of tomato. Ours outside, below the dining room window, have ripened eventually but no taste!

A really tasty tomato is something I still seek – I seem to remember really tasty ones from my childhood, but maybe it is my imagination:)

Impressed by what you’ve produced; we haven’t got the space for a polytunnel of adequate size tho.

Oh wow! Your poly tunnel has produced some lovely healthy looking tomatoes. Ours are outside, which always means a tougher skin, they taste ok though once you get past the tough outer.

The tomatoes are in the greenhouse – before they were in poly and didn’t do as good:)

Your tomatoes are looking lovely. It reminds me I need to go pick the last of ours. Our warm days are pretty much gone I fear, alas.
