Rain rain rain...


Been pritty poor for working outside the last few days .Still got working on my strawberry patch ,Taking runners off picking leafs off etc.. This will be my 3rd last year for the main plants And will be replaced by there runner plants once croped .
Indoors My seeds are slowly coming to
life :)Some or laggy (As expected) So
to try combat this if added a
SAD lamp ie grow lamp . the laggy plants here are
iceberg lettuces and some toms , Im not worred about the toms so much as il reroot them later .
4 of the 6 Dorset naga chilli's have germinated and Thats fine for me Il only be growing 2 plants maybe 3 one as a backup .
Just growing this for a bit of fun really :) I found out about them from HERE and found this Video on youtube Here
Not all the plants have gone laggy Im pleased to say , my potato leaf type tomatoes are doing great :P they are called Tamina ,Id recommend this type as you get a tasty Mid to large fruit With the added bonus of less sideshooting :P
