The Potting Shed

[Tâf]

3 Picota Cherry plants potted-on.

[El]

Picked two toms off the plants yesterday. Oooooh they were zingy 
Can't remember the variety. Hope others are sweeter

[Tâf]

Repotted Electric Daisies and Inca Berries (Physalis). The Inca Berries have a brick in each pot 'cos they can get quite tall and top heavy.

[Tâf]

5 Asparagus Peas into one big pot outside. Pods already. 

Removed excess oxygenating plants from the pond and saw toads jump in to join 2 others at the other end of the pond.

Chilli pods all around the greenhouse, spuds have gone ballistic, peas and beans are not liking this cooler weather.

2.2Kg of blackcurrants picked and made into Ribena, blackberries nearly ready.

Loads of strawberry runners ready to distribute to friends and neighbours, plus a few Electric Daisies.

Rhubarb ready to pick, I could feed a regiment on rhubarb crumble this year.

Next doors' crop of dandelion and marestails are appearing all over my garden.

Some of this year's ripening chillies.

Pricked-out loads of Passionflower seedlings. 38c in the greenhouse with the door and window open!

  Good old Prairie Fire.  When bugger all else will fruit, those will.

My chilliarium is chock full of them. My go-to for small hits of hotness.

Picked more French beans, they are slowing down already.

Binned the blighted haulms of the King Edward spuds, the others look OK for the moment.

Peas to pick after lunch. Big pods with them at least.

[Tâf]

Binned all the spud haulms as blight was really taking hold.

Tied-in the pumpkins to the fence.

Repotted a Pepino Melon. It was one of 3 in a trough that all showed signs of stress. One had defoliated but is recovering, another is quite happy throwing out bright yellow leaves that have some sort of mutation.

Pruned the redcurrant and gooseberries.

Chillies are ripening, Electric Daisies about to open flowers.

Pinned down 36 strawberry runners into pots. They are going daft this year.

Tried an Electric Daisy... oddest sensation.

The last of the peas are being left to make seed for next year.

Flowers on the Physalis... will I get fruits this year?

I counted the number of figs on our 4 yr old tree yesterday (we only had one on it last year and I pulled that one off to let it grow)...18! Should be a good crop next Summer!

[Tâf]

Repotted 15 Passion Flower plants. That makes 25 I'll have for next year. But where to put them?

Some of my chillies are fully ripe now... time to harvest and blow my (still ill) guts to smithereens.
