Patio Update

Cucumbers Runner Beans

In addition to the allotment, the vegetables growing back home on the patio and in the back garden are doing well. The cucumbers (above left) are climbing up the trellis quickly and have started flowering and forming small cucumbers (see further down the post). The runner beans (above right) are all at the top of the canes and flowering well (note also the orange B&Q buckets with holes drilled in to aid watering). The tomatoes in growbags (below left) and in the hanging basket (below right) are also growing well and a few are starting to flower.

There are also 4 tubs on the patio (below right) which between them contain 3 aubergene plants, 3 pepper plants and 2 chilli plants.

The peppers have quite a few flowers on them (below right) and the aubergene plants are just starting to form flower buds (below left).
