Spent the last 10 days in Australia, visiting family, so didnt get to complete the growing update before I left, so here it is.
These updates were taken on Oct 1 208, plantings of lettuce, winter tomatoes and celery, together with the standard toms, herbs and strawberry plants seem to be all ok, we will see how the upcoming colder weather treats them.
While everyones outdoor gardens have now died from frost and cold weather the greenhouse still looks unchanged.
We have herbs still growing strong, and tomato plants, strawberry plants, bok choi, lettuce, a cauliflower, and bell peppers. There is also some winter zuchinni seeds that have sprouted.
Poor mans heating system on the punnets, rope light. Its waterproof and really warm
Herbs still a growing

The overview
Early bird and roma toms. The early bird to the right arent looking very happy.
2 weeks and a bit with little time off has meant not enough hours in the day to do the update to the site. Plus I was sick as a dog last week after getting food poisoning in a Shoneys Restaurant in Vicksburg Mississippi … avoid this restaurant at all costs if you are thru this little town!
So after having planted some seeds, the sudden and unexpected drop in temps seems to have killed them, so had to do some replanting. It was mainly the arctic king lettuce which didnt survive… either that or there is a bug eating them!
