Hi

I have been reading many of your posts but havent put one of my own on here for ages

so

i have to report that i am now rather chuffed - it has been a learning curve - growbags are just not big enough- but have potted tomato, cucumber, peppers (gone bonkers!!)  and in a growbag i only left runner beans and now i have everything flowering and growing like mad.
Its a small area and i have put pots on the soil with a wood surround and have slug pellets sprinkled everywhere, and so far so good.

Next year i will have raised beds and it really has been a learning curve and mistakes made - but the day i get something to eat from my own "plot" i will be celebrating!!

oh - and how the hell will i support 4 cucumbers i have on one plant - its in a big pot but not sure next move and cant find it on this site..............scaffolding maybe ........?

Well done topsy 

You will have such a smile on your face when you eat your first harvest, I can tell you 

Don't know about supporting cucumbers, sorry

Well done

Maybe use tights to support the fruit like people do with melons?

I tried that, but Mrs Digger said it was uncomfortable.
