Brown thumb


I'm struggling to get good at the growing business and the wildlife make it harder again. Everything has to be protected or it's soon eaten or vandalised. I've lost a lot of trees to wildlife or my ignorance. One thing I learnt is that you don't put fertiliser at the bottom of the hole when planting as it burns the roots. Lay it on top after you have planted and the water will take it down. Here are some tomatoes I grew in may last year. The return wasn't too bad considering it's a little chill in the mornings at that time of year in the hills.
