Gierdre the garden is doing well. I have never heard of adding a yeast mixture for cucumbers, but i will try it. Not sure if I will have any ash though! The plants in the green house look very good and I am sure the outdoor ones will recover and survive very well. As for the amount of tomato plants - my goodness, you should have more than enough to be able to have tomatoes in many forms for the next year after the harvest. Congrats on the wine, you have determined the best method that works!

You funny !!!! :) a leader of commercial production of vegetables !!!! (well we do grow so many of them and a lot ... cha cha .. it's just happen' s like that ... by accident ) so I grew some cucumbers from seeds last year .. hmmm it wasn't successful because: our garden gets very cold during the night like yesterday was 2 degrees ... for cucumbers you need warm weather to grow .. I planted them I think end of may .. and by the time they became bigger it was VERY hot (like 40) during the day .. I noticed cucumbers can't stand heat here ... so that's why I planted them now in a polytunnel so I want to get as much of them as I can before the BIG heat arrives ... as I don't think they will survive summer ... Some tomato seed's came up as well last year from the soil .. it wasn't good as well as they came up later and it wasn't successful. But this year weather is so different .. it's cold its raining .. last year we had dry april and 30 degrees ... this year it's wet and we had 30 maybe 10 days .. Who knows what it will be next year !!! ;) SO by the time you ready to move here I will be done all experiments and you will know all the secrets ;) By the way where are you from and what is Your name? would be lovely to know as this is not first time when you and me talking about gardening I think :) Take care G xxx
