Hope your figs recover
Herbidacious wrote:Sue you mean re the figs? Ok will look how to check for vine weevil. The really odd thing is that it happened to two plants that are a good 15 feet apart from one another. Maybe they just suddenly had enough of not enough water and it was too late to do anything about it.
edit: your comment re chillis... so too late for me to have sown them? Ah well.

I have only one tomato plant (in a pot near the back door) but it's growing apace. My broad beans are coming along nicely, which is making Mr S most excited.
Herbidacious wrote:Yes very well done, LTC. What varieties did you say you were growing? I do wish I had a greenhouse... Your cucumbers are doing well. Mine don't look terribly happy. The leaves look a bit bleached. I potted them on, assuming it's a nutrition issue.
My toms are still in intermediate pots, and I will probably pot them on this weekend.
I have three sets of peas on the go. The first two were started off together, and both are beginning to flower. I call one lot Amazing Peas, and other lot, Pusillanimous Peas. Amazing Peas were sown outside in a large deep terracotta pot, Pusillanimous Peas were nurtured first in a heated propagator indoors, and after that sat in my sitting room, one wall of which is glass doors, for quite a while. Lot number three were sown much later indoors - propagator, but removed as soon as germinated, and also sown in root trainer modules. After a shorter spell in the sitting room, they went into the raised bed with the Pusillanimous Peas today. I hope their runty size will boost the confidence of their pusillanimous siblings. I also sowed some straight out in the raised bed the weekend before last, but they have not germinated.
French lazy housewife beans went into a big pot today too.
PSB. They don't seem to have grown at all in about two months. Is this normal?
The flowers the identity of which I have forgotten have buds. Will put them in the garden at the weekend. Excited to see what they are.

Wow!
Mine are mostly different too (assuming yours are... I know you are growing a lot) I must take care not to lose the labels on mine.
I grow all of mine outdoors, and it can be hit and miss whether I get much fruit, but I guess up in Ayrshire it's even more so. Here's hoping for a tomato summer!
Herbidacious wrote:tomato question.
A noticed that a couple of the tomato plants that arrived a fortnight ago and which are still under a foot tall are flowering and one even has a tiny fruit. Does this matter? Will they still grow? If not, I am not going to get much fruit, so may need to buy more plants...?
Why would they do this?
btw I am growing
Lycocherry (grafted Suttons) x2
Gardener's delight x 2 I think
And one each of:
Crovarese
Rosella
Ananas Noir
Brandywine Red
Ethel Watkins Best
Nyagous
Rutgers
SunSugar F1
Rosella
Piccolo
Anna Aasa
Assuming the grower sent me all the ones below Gardner's Delight on the list!
Goodness there are so many varieties out there!
