Tomatoes and Peppers

Do you have a thermometer in your greenhouse?

They need a minimum overnight temp of 10 degrees C.

You need a minimum - maximum thermometer whci will show you how cold it is at night. They're cheap enough to buy or keep an eye on a local weather station.

Down here in the 'souf' I planted my tomatoes out in the borders yesterday, but have rigged up polysheeting which I can use to cover over the plants on cold nights.

The aubs and peppers are still indoors as they like it even warmer, I reckon  

I was tempted with sticking mine out but they will still sulk as my big one will show you. It started t sulk been left in the outside porch. I personally would hang on a little while (if you can)

I've had aubs and chillis in a tunnel for a month without problems. Now the weather has improved we are making progress with flowers on the chillis.


I murdered the Jalapenos by putting them inside a propogator inside the tunnel. This was okay until the sun came out for a couple of days.

They were drier than salt and vinegar crisps.

Hangs head in shame.

I put the toms in their final position in grow pots in the unheated greenhouse about two weeks ago. Seem to be doing fine.
Chillies, peppers and cues in unheated greenhouse and will be planted in final position this week.
