Cold and windy

The weather today is rubbish. Cold and windy so the plants look a bit windswept. I have decided not to repot the rest of the peppers as they look a bit frail but i have put the welsh onion, the pot marigold and french golden oregano in to black pots. Every time i do anything, i wonder if i am doing it right. Is it the right compost, is it the right size, is it too wet or to dry. You could literally spend hours researching each plant and i simply don't have that kind of time so i am going on the trial and error method.


I put the two micro tom tomatoes together in one pot although i think they would probably be better in separate pots. I have bought some arch canes to stake them on if needed. If not, the arch looks quite nice. I read Alan Titmarshes article about staking after i had bought them and i think that i have the required level of undergarment in place. He likens stakes to bras!!!
I was looking in my gardening box and i have loads of seeds that i bought and simply don't have room for so I am thinking that maybe i will have to expand onto my windowsill or put up some shelves. I think I have created a monster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1. I grew Micro Tomato last year and it didn't need staking, in fact, I've never seen such a small tomato plant. I got lots of tomatoes off it though, and they were just like sweeties.
