Gardening 2018

Have hit that point where the raised beds are full of (fairly successful) over-wintered greens and have run out of space for all the other veg that has been growing on windowsills and needs to go out.

Have been palming plants off on neighbours.

Have been growing stuff on a great windowsill at work and have been struck by how much difference light makes (the plants at work have been soaring ahead of the things I have on my darker home windowsills).

I had a couple tomato volunteers in my compost pile, so I moved them to the usual tomato bed. They seem to be doing OK, no fruit yet but a flower or two. Funny thing is I don't remember putting any tomato debris in the compost since last year's crop, and can't believe the seeds have sat there this long before sprouting.

Last year I bought some oddball types and none of them produced well, so I may still get a reliable producer or two for the rest of the bed.

I grew a tomato with buttocks and had to give it a thong for support.

I put in 12 tomato plants last weekend and I hope they still have time to grow.

Garden has hit *that point*: the greens have become a caterpillar farm, a few things have withered in the heat and lots of things are scrappy and have gone to seed.

What's worth putting in? (UK)

I'm an asshole and didn't get my tomato cage extensions up before the plants overgrew the five foot cages; I now have a big tomato vine mess on my hands. At least they have set fruit! And my hot peppers and cukes are producing nicely despite similar levels of neglect.

I've got three tomato plants growing on the sunny windowsill at work, two growing in my garden and one on a home windowsill. `I have a crop of six tomatoes.

That point of panic where its almost too late to plant anything.

i eradicated all the shitty plants in my little planting box except the rosemary, bought a bag of compost and some fall-plantable vegetable seeds. but today it's raining all day. i also have 2 big pots i can put lettuce in. wish me luck.

I'll go back outside for Gardening 2018 once the fucking mosquitoes have died back.
