Let's see inside 2021/22/23/24

Greenhouse fully planted up now, except for maybe a few small cosmos or gem marigolds to interplant in order to attract predatory insects.

On the left - 8 tomatoes, 9 chillies/peppers with some purple kohlrabi and overwintered onions hiding at the back near the glass. On the right - 18 peppers and some gem marigolds. At the back - 2 cucumbers and 2 peppers. Under the bit of staging - 2 melons which I am training up to the right side rafters.

Growing in the soil means I don't have to make 500 L of potting mix, a job which I used to dread, or spend a lot on bagged compost. This is the first time I've grown cucumbers in the ground.

Tree roots from next door's big weeping silver birch have come under the wall, under the concrete greenhouse footing and all the way (3 metres!) to the front of the greenhouse. I dug them up and hammered some metal law edging in to the soil all the way across the back of the greenhouse, hopefully this stops them spreading so quickly and sucking all the moisture out of the greenhouse borders.
