    Its always good to see what others are doing with their polytunnels at this time of year, a crucial time for growth and getting summer ready. Are you set up ready to go? What's growing in your tunnels? Id really love to know. please comment below 🙏🙏🌱🌱

    As you know Glen, I’ve just put up my poly tunnel. So it’s all a big learning experience for me, that’s why I enjoy learning from the videos you put out, but one thing I have in the tunnel that’s doing really well is sweetcorn, it’s way ahead of the ones I planted out side. 🌽👍

      Cheers Pete, We should call the polytunnel a plant accelerator 😂 look forward to seeing your early sweetcorn. Don't forget air flow for cross pollination 🙏🌱

    I got the usual suspect in my tunnel , toms, peppers, chilli’s , aubergine , melon but I have tried Louffa this year for something different lol.

    Question about blueberry plants do they need special treatment not had any luck with them as always happy gardening Richardx

      Hi Richard great question, No I've found these to be the perfect polytunnel house guest. Very little pruning just put a top dressing of compost on in the spring. I plant 2 together for pollination. They do like water butt water better than tap water. but In the real world they get a mix of both. hope this helps 🙏🙏👍👍

      Hi Moses, Very easy to grow and in your climate they should do very well, my blueberry plants are now 5 years old ish. For reference. 🙏🌱

    my jalapeno chily's have just stopped for the last 3 weeks. the leaves are green, they have fruits (wich have slowed down growing) they are inside. not overwatered... is it the light levels or am i messing up? :D

    • @veggiepatchideas
      @veggiepatchideas  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If your plant is setting fruit, then your doing a good job. Without seeing it I would say. Check pot size as this will have an effect. (plant maybe at max production) Then I would take the plant outside on sunny days I give it more exposure to uv light (sun). Thanks 🙏🌱
