2022 - What I did today

Hoed a lot then potted up some aubergines, sweet peppers and others, about 60 plants in all. Not all will get planted out. They will have to demonstrate their worth first.

I'd be interested in whether you get greenfly and how you (cheaply) get rid of it. Last year (my first at growing aub, chillies and peppers seriously) I was plagued with the blighters and vowed never again. The harvest wasn't worth the hassle. This year I'll stick to tomatoes.

Did you get them in the greenhouse? Did you wash it out well before using?

Yes and yes, but undoubtedly I missed some of the blighters. I even steam cleaned the aluminium frame crevices. It's not really a problem this year as they seem to avoid toms and I've not bothered with aubs and peppers and I have enough chillies in the freezer to last for ages.
