Hi folks, a few weeks since I got excited about my garden, well here is an update.

Welcome to 'my pleasure dome' . . . better described as the 'green house' :lol: Last time it was fairly bare, just planted a few ring cultures and the vine had had a 'short back and sides'. Every thing is growing nicely, nothing has died, yet! The vine has really got into gear, and is now providing the natural shade as it grows over the wires across the roof.

Sweet peppers seem to be OK?? but the Aubergines are growing really well great big purple and green leaves. The courgettes are forming fruit and looking like triffids. Melon plant is on the move creeping its way along the bed, loads of flowers, waiting anxiously to see if they set?

Outside, all is well, although I struggled with my Radishes, they grow fine but have bolted before the root bulb has swollen? I thought any one could grow radish :? Cabbages have rallied after some sort of attack? Toms, 4th truss is forming, and the runner beans see for your self, pinched the top but still they push way past the top of the 8ft cane?

Thats it from 'CJS Towers', I trust you are all enjoying the weather, but we need rain . . . at night please . . . :(

Fantastic! You certainly seem to have 'green fingers' and everything is looking so good and not only that you are enjoying yourself too. Life's a joy! :D
