Growth Spurt

It just amazes me what a difference two weeks can make, the tomato seedling we purchased in week one is unrecognisable, it has more than tripled in size, both in height and width..and more importantly has its first few flowers!

This variety is F1 Sungold, and looking at the way this plant is growing, it will be near the roof of the greenhouse in no time, looking at the mark i made on the cane, it has grown over 10cm in height in 14 days!

The chilli pepper, and sweet pepper seedlings that where also planted into a growbag in week one are also thriving, only two leaves out of the three plants have been nibbled (Mr Slug..we know its you!) So lets just hope the eggshell i have put around the base of the plants does its job, i guess as with most things at the moment we can only try! Paul has also read that slugs and snails also have an aversion to copper wire? So if the eggshell collars don't do the trick, i think copper wire may be the second string to our bow, i really don't want to have to resort to using slug pellets.
