Plant progress
30 May 2025 12:41 pm( Tomatoes, sweet peas and poppies )
The blackfly problem is getting worse (as happened last year, the chives are unusable as a result, although they are flowering prettily!) Despite my plants being entirely 'organic' there is no sign of any predators moving in on the pests, so I am doing what I can to rub off the blackfly manually. They are currently making a move on the various nasturtiums :-(
After some thinning-out I now have five small but thriving chilli plants, some from all of the various attempts at sowing seed I made this year. Which is of course too many ;-)
