All this lovely sun has really pushed my Chillies and tomatoes into an extra growth spurt and has ripened them really nicely..I picked some a couple of hours ago.
Thought I would post a few piccies up for anyone that's interested, Cucumbers are also having a growth spurt too as are the sweet peppers, another week until I pick those.


My F1's very red and very hot hot hot!




Looking forward to Cheese and Tommy sandwiches with these..

Excellent stuff Mr Legs

Might have to invest in a few grobags meself come spring, I have space here but only paving slabs

Mmmmm, those chilis and tomatoes look sooooooo good! There is nothing quite so tasty as a home-grown tomato fresh from the vine. Well done CL. What variety are the toms, if I might ask?

[muckshifter]

they look like Marmande to me, but then I'm no gardener, I just eat them.

The Tommy's are Marmande variety and are disease resistant, I have grown all these plants in Gro-bags and containers in my gro-house, I don't have any beds with soil in just containers in the gro-house on the patio..



Gro-house from Argos £19.99 put it up in less than an hour bolted it to the concrete and it withstood 60mph storms last week, nuff said!


F1 Chilli plants were 49p each and they produce average 30-35 chillies per plant, very easy to grow.. these pics were when I first planted them, they a lot bigger now of course..


On the vine!

Sweet peppers these are very nearly there now and are almost as red as the Chilli's I picked, another week for these..

Chillies just chilli'n in the sun
I'll post some more pics to the thread of the sweet peppers and cucumbers when they are ready, hopefully this weather will carry on for a few more days and heat the Gro-house up nice and hot.
Hope I haven't bored anyone!

Just been out and watered the old plants

Took a couple more pics!




Sweet Peppers almost ready to harvest..

More Chillies on the way especially with this lovely hot weather!


Unfortunately me Potatoes didn't fare so well and got ripped to shreds in the storm last week, although some are trying to make a comeback, not sure if they will make it


On a lighter note this Miniature Fig tree I bought from Lidl for 99p has absolutely blown me away and I will be eating figs next year, it was only 8" high I replanted it and now its over 3 foot in 3 months, it won't grow much bigger though luckily..
It was to soon this year for a crop but next year it will bear fruit, and I love fresh figs so can't wait to grow and eat my own..

Wow CL!! I'm really impressed that you've been able to grow so many yummy veggies in your grow-house. It all looks very appetising and, must be giving you a great sense of satisfaction to see that lovely ripe produce. Great to see the piccies, thank you for sharing.

Wow! I cannot imagine ever coming around to doing gardening myself, never done it in me life. But those tomatoes sure are mouth watering to say the least I love cheese and tomato sandwich and stuffed tomatoes with minced meat baked

[crazylegs]

I had never done gardening before 4 months ago when I bought the Gro-house, its the first time I had ever touched containers and pots and plants, but I just thought its not rocket science, you bung the plants in a container, bung some soil all around it then press it down and water it, give it a sunny place and some shelter for the cool evenings and that should do it..

Thats it really haven't done anything special except feed them once a week with Tomorite vegetable feed and watered them every evening, simple as that..3-4 months later your looking at the results in the pics on this thread..

I would say to anyone thinking of growing a few tommy's or chillies to give it a go, its so simple and the satisfaction you get from cooking and eating your own produce is immense..and of course they are all Organic
