Hothouse Haircut

Not bad sized carrots hey?? Was pretty pleased with myself pulling up these beauties today!!! We’ve been eating them roasted and they are so lovely and sweet!

OK… remember this? Well, today I got myself motivated and worked in here for a good deal of the afternoon! Pretty sweaty in there!!
I took out a LOT of foliage

I was tempted to just pull out all the tomatoes in the corner but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. Lots of mildew – so gave the tomatoes a severe pruning and cut lots of leaves off the cucumbers to open it all up again. Then I pruned the marigolds! Who has pruned marigolds before?? They were so big and not really flowering, but didn’t have the heart to yank them out. They’ve been so keen!

I even did a bit of seaweed mulching!
I found a few cucumbers which was good as we just finished the last lot.
I don’t think pollination has been that good in here this season. Not that that has stopped Tentacular. Somehow its just full of passionfruit. I pick up some daily. Looking forward to eating one later before bed!

I even managed to find a cob of corn each for dinner!
Tomorrow I have plans to cook up a big veggie mix and start dehydrating. I was going to do that today but ran out of Oomph. 😀
I was happier in the garden than the kitchen!

Roll on Saturday!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Cheers
