Time to Start
By admin | January 24, 2012
I made a start in the greenhouse to-day, initially I spread a good layer of my three year compost on the area where I grow my Tomatoes. I then gave it a coating of potash, the ash from hedge cuttings I burnt last year.
Having turned the above in, I decide to set out the canes and give the whole area a good soaking with water from the rain butt.
The reason for the collars around the canes is so that if I need to use a liquid fertilser during the growing period it will go direct to the roots.
With that job done I turned the heat on in the small propagater and will be sowing the Tomato seeds in a couple of days. I will be growing three ‘Gardeners Delight’ at the back and two ‘moneymaker’ at the front both Organic of course. I will keep you imformed of the progress from time to time.
Happy gardening
Norman
