A New Medium Test.

Picked up a few Coir- Peat Bricks at half price so thought I would try it out I like the idea of bulking up my quality organic soil, plus its another experiment.
This time I have use it to plant a replacement Tomato a new one that I have not grown before call Tommy Toe, I will be interested to see how it goes compared to my Pink Pearl that I love so much.
My mix is first 5ml 50/50 Mix which I call my wick, then about a 50 /50 Coir- Peat and Organic Soil mix for the rest.
We will follow with interest.

Have a few Sweet potato cuttings coming along, these are the Purple skinned variety with the white flesh the (Kumera) I on grow these in what I call my waist product, which is the medium that I have used once in the Autopot system, I put it into large cheap soft pots with holes in, and just hand water with the occasional feed.

This is how things are growing at the moment.

Savoy Cabbage

Broccoli

Brussels Sprouts

I have mentioned the Darwin Lettuce before and the more I grow it, the more I like it, and the other one called Salad Bowl Green which has a red tinge. These are picking lettuces and they are just wonderful for sandwhiches or a fresh roll, they just keep growing and are slow to boult.
