Here’s an update on the tomato plants. If you remember I potted them out into bigger pots, now they need it again!
As they are called hanging basket plants some got transferred into a hanging basket. I made slits in the basket lining to around halfway down to help it fit in the basket. I filled it with some tomato compost and transferred the plants.
Looking a bit wilted here! I put them in the shade until they got used to being outside. I took them back in to the shed for 3 or 5 nights and then back out in the day to get used to being outside.
Some tomato plants in a grow bag. With sticks to help prop them up, I used sandwich bag ties around the sticks.
You can see my carrot plants in the background. I have given my mum a pot of tomato plants to tend to – there is a race to see who’s produce tomatoes first!
I’m hopeful in a few weeks time I’ll have enough home grown veg to make these (but for now I had to buy the veg!) I chopped different vegetables and put them on a skewer, ready to barbecue. Soft veg like tomatoes will cook quicker than harder veg, like carrots, but that adds texture!
