Well a sudden change in the weather today, and it is looking good so far!   2 types of tomatoes and 2 trays of radish (Rudi)  Gherkins, Swiss Chard and Sungold tomato doing well but no sign of life with the Chili Peppers.  No sign of growth yet in carrots or chives, but lettuce in yellow bowl and another radish tray doing well.  Turnip in a bucket, just showing tho'  And finally one peach stone has taken, kindly supplied by Kedigato! |

Good news! The carrots have germinated, and so I have started another bowl of them today. The turnips are showing well now, and I have also started another bucket of those. In addition, I have started a bucket of spinach. Finally just sown another tray of radish. and cut the lawn! |

I go away for a few days and come back to all sorts of things sprouting left, right and center in your greenhouse, DAG! You obviously have a green thumb.
I am glad to see that the first red peach treelet is growing and it looks to be a very healthy little one, too.

Thanks Kedigato, yes it all seems to be happening now that the storm has gone, just a bit of sunshine and they are away!
Further good news, a second peach treelet is on the way!

Dag I wish I had your patience but I dont. Looks like you'll have a good crop.

Thank you jc, but I am not sure where the patience is required, for me mother nature does all the work, all I do is chuck a few seeds in and keep it watered! Holysmokes7, I do understand your problem, I only have a small garden left now, and would like all sorts of trees but not a great deal of scope there! From what I can see of it, your garden does look lovely though, and I am sure the birds and other wildlife appreciate the trees. |

I have only ever grown perpetual spinach and even then always directly in the ground. Easy to grow as it don't even seem to need much sunshine if any! However it is not perpetual this time, and never grown it in a bucket before! |
