If you’ve had plants off me this year they are probably struggling because of low temperatures day/night mine are exactly the same. But today I picked the first cucumbers. The tomato’s and runner beans are a different story out of 15 plants just 3 pea size tomatoes.

Trying something new this year drip irrigation, it will save watering individually and it can be left running when we have hot days. This season I’m using 2mm wire rope with adjustable hooks as supports fed up of nylon string snapping halfway through the season.

Grape vines springing into life and the dotted marching army are out searching for Aphids!

We don’t use pesticides, we companion plant to attract beneficial insects 😁
