TauPlanted 20 odd spuds, all from a supermarket bag I'd forgotten I had couple months ago. All sprouted rootlets. Now the waiting game. Grapes have started green shoots, most of the cuttings have taken. Weirdly, broadbeans are flowering but they are hardly 5 in tall . .. strawberries also fruiting though some have perished .The rest growing in pots in the greenhouse. Worked on the pond edges, lined the sides halfway down using three cloth pots, the sort used to move treelings about, cut lengthwise, the idea is to cover the plastic and maybe a frog will choose the place for froglets. Also filled the gaps between stones with stone scalping kindly donated by the plotter next door. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#allotment</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/beans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beans</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/tomatoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tomatoes</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/peppers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#peppers</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cauliflowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cauliflowers</a>

They'll be going in the cold frame outside sometime next week. From last year: Japanese Trifele Black, Italian Heirloom, Costoluto Firorento, Marsalato, Old German. New to me this year: Dester, Gill's All Purpose, Jaune Flamme.

TauAt the plot. It's raining in a variety of densities, no drizzle. Stuff is growing despite the weather. Indoors, strawbs have gone mad and grow vertically .... well, so far.Also various beans which will go outdoors later, still too cold for them.Weirdly broadbeans are already flowering tho they're barely 15cm high. I've bought a bag of them in a food shop and they originate from Iran, of all places. Grapes are starting green shoots, lil carrots tops, leeks and garlic also. Spuds.

GangaWhen Winter comes, we are suddenly looking for tomato (and other) sauces to make soup out of, add to lentil braises, vegetable stews, gratins, dipping sauces, and other dishes. Luckily I often make several of these each Autumn so that they are frozen, ready for the first Wintery dish that needs them.Some of these sauces are the sort of sauce that you put on your (vegetarian) bangers and mash or over your BBQ’d veggies and patties. But the other purpose of these sauces is to add flavour to dishes, or form the base for soups, other sauces, and dipping sauces for snacks.I have about 7 or so different tomato sauce/puree recipes that get repeated. Autumn is ideal to make them - tomatoes are at their best, especially if home grown. You can, of course, bottle /preserve them instead of freezing.<a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FromTheArchives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FromTheArchives</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FromTheKitchen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FromTheKitchen</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Vegetarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vegetarian</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/WinterFood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WinterFood</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/AutumnCooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AutumnCooking</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Food</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Tomatoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tomatoes</a>

Ali Clarke :flag_tino:Oops, I haven’t posted in the tomato thread for a couple of months! While other local gardeners have complained of a poor season for tomatoes, I’ve been picking plenty. The Sub Arctic Plenty plants died off recently, so I picked the remaining green tomatoes to ripen inside. The Sweet 100 are still going.I’ve been putting surplus into the freezer, and today I converted them into passata .

BrownsterThat's me done for the day: planted out 140 onion sets Sturon at the allotment, pleased as the bags say 50 each an extra 40!

Kris Warner 🦀 🐧I’m new to starting tomatoes from seed - first year purposefully doing so, or at least in a very long time. Fellow gardeners, do you have a rough estimate from initial leaves to first true leaves? My seeds all popped up within a few days, but have since (almost three weeks) kind of stalled and I’m wondering what others’ experience is. I read 2-3 weeks is typical. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/tomatoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tomatoes</a>

He then came in to the greenhouse to help me get started on transplanting tomatoes.Seeds started on March 11th and now ready to pot up in to 4 inch/100mm pots. Got 12 done today with many more to do tomorrow.
