This is one of my tomato plants given to me by my cousin's husband some weeks ago. Both plants are thriving. They are hanging basket tomato plants really, but I have sat mine on upended empty tubs. There are half a dozen small green tomato's and lots of flowers on this one, but you can't really see them on this photo. I shall be eating my own tomato's soon - if we ever see the sun again to ripen them!
My bay trees were water logged. I planted them in pots with no water drainage holes in the bottom - mistake! (I got them from the £1 shop and thought they would be okay.) With all the rain we have had, the little bay trees were learning to swim! I put fresh soil in today, after punching small drainage holes in the bottom. It was a mucky job pouring out all that black mud from the pots onto the garden and then having to wash the yard down afterwards with bowls of water. I don't have an outside tap. I hate it when people say 'It's easy to install a tap outside, you have a water outlet to the rear.' Easy for who? The know it all's that are advising with no intention of offering to help? Not easy for me, I haven't got a clue where to start!
