Pepper picking


After the last two very windy days it was nice to have a much calmer day. The temperatures were just about normal for the time of year but we had intermittent showers through the morning and early afternoon spoiling an otherwise pleasant day.
In our home greenhouse our Jimmy Nardello’s peppers had plenty of ripe fruits on them so these were harvested and frozen. There’s still plenty of fruit on them which hopefully will have time to turn but will be used green before the conditions in the greenhouse become too damp turning the fruits mouldy. Our cherry tomatoes Tumbling Tom Red have decided to ripen at last. Normally this variety has been one of our first tomatoes to turn but not this year. Perhaps the position in the greenhouse hasn't been to their liking. The plants have grown really well but the tomatoes have remained stubbornly green until now.
