As tomorrow is the first day of summer (and a day off!), we wanted to check on the status of the plants, to make sure they are happy before the sun comes out in earnest.
The tomato plants are now huge, nearly topping the railings on our balcony. They are also starting to flower, so I am hoping for a full crop of tomatoes for next week:
The basil and pepper plants are also doing well (if needing alittle more water, today was a hot day):
Finally, we have also managed to grow an extra bonus species. They seem to disappear by day, and come up at night. I favoured a strong anti-fungal agent, but apparently pulling them up will also be effective...
Go green fingers! Once your basil is a little more underway, pinch off leaves regularly and it will grow back bushier.
