May - Tomatoes Potatoes
The tomatoes indoors are doing well, though they seem rather thirsty. Their older leaves are browning and waning, but I am not concerned because the inner leaves are pert and fresh and increasing daily. This week I put some tomatoes outdoors too. For the first few days I would bring them in at night too, but when the weather warmed to 20+ during the day and 14 over night I just left them out, south facing, but partially shaded. Again, inner green bits give me confidence, but these plants look a little more vulnerable to the wind. The Dean says he will give me seeds for a South African variety which is, apparently, more robust.
It's time we earthed up the tatties. I've been doing this sporadically. I've been getting conflicting advice on when and how to do it. So when I spoke to the Dean I asked his advice. He said once the plants were several inches high to earth them up, but to leave the leaves visible. So I have done that. When the plants flower they are fit for harvesting. Roll on.
