I figure i will try Tomatillo again if i have land to put them in ground. yeah first time growing Tomatoes from seed and i love how they look! I was surprised to see Aphids already. you can't beat them, just gotta keep ontop of them. Luckily come June/July the veranda should be crawling the...

Hardening off is going well. They spend all afternoon in sun. Trying to keep the fabric pots off the floor this year. Playing around with this. A rack for drying dishes etc on from the dollar store. Two of them side by side works well. Better airflow, not soaking up surface water etc. Dug...

I culled the tomatillo actually. Found out that they won't self pollinate. I don't have space for 3 tomatillo plants this year. Maybe next year

These herbs were already started. Place next to where I work has been selling seedlings for 100 yen. Cheap! I have oregano, spearmint and grapefruit mint (my new favourite herb) ready to go to bigger pots. I have thyme and lemon balm seeds, which I'm starting today. Nasturtiums too (love them...

Love how tomato seedlings look The plants that got transplanted first are in the foreground. Looking good. Tipsy was nearby enjoying dinner. She can't wait for the bugs to come.

Last few finished tonight. Things are looking great! From the weight of the cups transplanted a week ago I imagine it's time for watering tomorrow evening

all looking great, Rick!

Yep, successful so far! Been very fiddly though. Trying to was the leaf mulch off of the straggly roots. One wrong move and they are dead. However the key seems to have been to keep the roots wet at all times. Night time temps are creeping up. Hope to plant out mid April, but we will see how...

The plants I transferred the other day all survived. They look more vibrant and are growing too! Wish I caught it earlier. Transferred a few more today. I have just six left to do another day. Also I started my hanging basket herb garden. Planning to have quite a few of these

Tomatoes and tomatillo went for surgery yesterday. Attempt 2 was much fastest when you know what you want to achieve and how to go about it. Azomite went in. As well as myco What's the point in trying to do gardening without adverts for useless Japanese gadgets on a nearby newspaper

Transferred 8 into better seedling soil this evening. Washed majority of old soil away with water and put in new soil with Azomite and myco. Then made sure there were watered in. Hopefully no roots damaged but I will wait and see before doing others. I was gentle as possible but I won't be...

I'm gonna pick up some neutral potting mix later, add some myco and Azomite then transplant. Still early enough. Fingers crossed

im quite confident that the problem has been caught and im very grateful for Filmost's second opinion and helping me find the culprit. still pretty early so watch this space. hopefully withs are gonna get better from here on! promix sounds good! Japan makes gardening bloody difficult if you...

fingers crossed! they are still ghealthy but stunted. for the benefit of people who weren't in the conversation with Filmost and i, my soil was a bit different this year. first year i used peat moss which i limed and mixed with bark and perlite. second year was coir which i didnt lime and...

cheers! yeh im disappointed in this year, chinense just arent growing. i think im gonna repot a few with some store bought seedling mix. my only variable this year was the soil. which suggests its not working well

Started hardening off today. It's raining the next few days so maybe a good time to start Hope it makes them grow a bit. I got to admit I'm very disappointed how they are growing this year, too slow! Received this yesterday

noted. still got while till TP. hope next weekend is dry enough for me to get some gardening done also wanna let the hedgehog run around a bit outside when its not so cold. they love to run. they can run 6ft/second so they are pretty quick!

IMO flavour is a bit overwhelming. hard to cook with as that perfume dominates rather than blends. like its been said, subjective.
