Little Green Hiiros Tomatoes

We are getting tomatoes in the greenhouse, and I am pleased! I am looking forward to fresh tomatoes on my plate every day, enjoying their vibrant color and rich flavor. I think the first picture is from a cutting, and I am unsure which variety it is. The next two pictures are tomatoes grown from seeds I saved from the tasty Hiiros variety I purchased at the supermarket. Some of the plants are producing large clusters of blooms. If the F1s taste good, I will save seeds from the vines I like and keep growing them. I will share more later on the characteristics I find and do a taste test. I am unsure if they are hybrids or not. If they produce well, I may even make a delicious homemade sauce, simmering them with garlic and herbs.

November Climbing Rose Pruning and Polytunnel Greenhouse update

In this video, I am pruning my climbing rose, lifting my Amaryllis bulbs, and sharing a greenhouse tour filled with vibrant colors and lush growth that truly brings the beauty of gardening to life. As I engage in the delicate process of pruning the climbing rose, I encountered some interesting discoveries about its growth patterns and health, revealing how important proper maintenance is for producing beautiful blooms and ensuring the plant’s long-term vitality. During this process, I also discovered some green tree frogs nestled among the bare branches, which I carefully moved to a safe place, highlighting the importance of coexisting with wildlife in our gardens. Additionally, while lifting my Amaryllis bulbs, I found numerous offsets that I can propagate for future planting, which adds even more excitement to my gardening endeavors, as each new bulb represents the potential for new life and beauty. Throughout the tour of my garden and greenhouse, I’ll showcase not only the thriving plants that fill my space with their stunning colors but also some of the challenges I’ve faced—like pest and disease control —and the invaluable tips I’ve learned along the way to keep my garden flourishing in all seasons, making it a truly rewarding experience.
