The plants
in the greenhouse are beginning to outgrow their pots, so it is time to move
them into bigger ones. One or two of the plants haven’t survived and some are
still small enough to wait a while longer. Of those that have survived, there
are five chillis, six peppers, two courgettes and five tomato plants.
It only took
about an hour to complete the task. The pots they were in before were 3” pots;
they are now in 9” pots. The compost was firmed well and then the new pots have
been placed on trays with no drainage holes. This should ensure that if (when)
I forget to water them, they stand a chance of staying alive! Once the compost
is thoroughly soaked through, the trays can be filled with water and the plants
can take up what they need.
If anyone
has been wondering – the vine seems to have survived its severe pruning and is
growing beautifully. I don’t think we will get any fruit off it this year, but
as long as I trim it in the late autumn or early spring, it should fruit well
next year J
