A sage about tomatoes

The tomatoes have trusses developing and flowers appeared. I was quite letting planting these this year and my greenhouse is some what in the shade due to being next to some large trees, but the plants are doing well

This flower is on a tomatoes variety called "latah" which is an early type and when i grow it normally it does ondeed produce tomatoes very early indeed

This variety is gardeners delight

The sage plant is still in a 9inch pot and doing very well

Weather report - Sunny all day and generally very nice, Wakefield, England

The strawberry of the year... first of many

The strawberries are starting to ripen. This is my first one. the bird bet me to the other one, so I have now netted them now

It tasted sweet

The tomatoes are growing well in the greenhouse. This variety is "Gardeners Delight". No trusses have set yet

The melon plant that Emily has sent me is doing well to, I think. It has a flower on, so that is good. I think the variety is blacktail mountain... I think

Weather report - Sunny all day and generally really nice, Wakefield, England

The chokes are coming and the grapes are growing

The Jersusalem artichokes are growing very quickly and must be 3ft plus maybe 4ft already. They seem to be jumping out of the ground. I have some more at my Fathers garden that are not as sheltered and they are not 12inch yet despite being in a much sunnier spot

I have some tomatoes in the greenhouse, this variety is Gardeners Delight, a cherry variety, I love cherry toms, they taste great and can be picked and eaten straight from the plant in summer, the variety in the background is one called latah, that is known for being very early, I usually grow latah and find it produces tomatoes many weeks before anything else is any where near ready

The grape vine is growing nicely. plenty of foliage on, some of the foliage I have nipped back. It has 4-5 bunches of grapes on to. I have cut some of the grape bunches down this week by nipping the ends off

Weather report - wet and raining all day in Wakefield, England

This is the third day I have been unable to access my garden forum.

Anyone for another Apple

About  a month or so back I bought another apple tree, the variety is Golden Delicious, it was bare rooted from Wilkinsons. I did not expect anything from it this at all. However it has come out in lovely blossom. If I get any small apples appearing I will nip most of them off though so the tree is not strained

I have some tomatoes in the greenhouse that are coming along nicely, not as good as they could have been but not doing bad. The variety is Gardeners Delight. A small sweet cherry tomato

My victoria Plum tree is having issues today and I am not quite sure what is wrong. It has been a very very hot day here in Yorkshire. Gorgeous is a word I would use to describe it. the leaves at the top of the tree have started to curl. I dont know if plums can get to much sun. The pot is moist as I have been watering the tree regularly in the pot

Grape vine in full swing and more seeds pop up

This is my other grape vine. it is growing very nicely and I am keeping my fingers crossed I might get some fruit from it this year. I intend on reading up as much as I can about pruning it in a sympathetic manner for good grapes

More seeds have sprouted today including some chard, all the tomatoes bar one, the mini white cucumber and a black beauty courgette.
