It’s been almost a month since my last polytunnel post, when I planted out the tomatoes with string supports. Everything is growing well, the tomatoes are loving their support system and have lots of flowers and fruits. I keep the polytunnel door open permanently to prevent blight even though it’s quite cool. I also feed the tomatoes every Friday with a liquid feed. Check out the video at the botttom of my post for a tomato tour! 🍅😄 I’ve just harvested the first of honeybee tomatoes and they’re so sweet! I can’t wait to try these in a Mediterranean veg tonight.
I’m always on the look out for any symptoms of blight.. I spotted a black spot on one of my Amish tomatoes and panicked. I think (and hope!) it’s just a deformity as the leaves seem fine.
The smell of the basil. Oh God. It’s incredible!
Chillies are producing well but I’ve got to wait for this big one to turn a chocolatey red before I pick it!
My first sungold tomato. It’s so teenie! 😂
Let me know what you think to my video – eek! 🙈

Growing with strings is the way my grandad taught me! Looking good and looks like no whitefly which is always a problem for me with tomatoes.

I just wish I discovered it years ago! It’s such a breeze 😌 Fingers crossed I won’t have any whitefly 🤞🏻I just have to do a slug patrol every so often as they have a taste for my basil 😒🌱
