GR420 Tomato Grow Off 2023

[Marcus]

Nice work folks!

My tomatoes just got fucked with the rain and were not very good producers.

I may have to get a greenhouse. I do miss my greenhouse.

you got the room for a polly tunnel mate

I have, but I only need a small glasshouse for my toms and cucumbers.
I wouldn't risk growing dope in a poly, too many fuckers think they're pc plod round these parts.

Well, thanks a bunch @Greenfingers ...

I mentioned to the wife that some fool on the internet told me to get a polytunnel and now guess what she wants.

Apparently when the digger man is here in the next few weeks, it'll only take 5 mins for him to level a 3m x 8m area for it she reckons



Her other reasoning is that courgettes are really expensive this year, nearly a quid each. Even if she eats one a day it'll take 3 years to pay the fucking thing off.

Anyone want her?

I'll throw the dog in with the deal too.

Blight on the Roma plum, so out she came, bagged up. Removed any green fruit that looked okay. Never had blight before until this year.



So far these 3 plants are still okay, but keeping my on them.

You'll love it when it's up if you get the right plastic you can't see what's in there I'm sure a couple of autos wouldn't be noticed , and you could put a little vape station in for when it's raining it's lovely sitting in the warm in winter before we got the cabin we used to sit in our greenhouse in the winter sun ☀

A couple of the plants I grew in soil have started to get blight in the last couple of weeks.
The ones in Coco are still ok so far.

And still they keep coming. The big beefsteak tomato ( Country Taste) has been brilliant this year. Never had so many. The Ailsa Craig is still going.
