The Turmeric Curcuma longa has finally started to sprout even though it has been in the greenhouse all winter.
After an Earwig attack these (direct sown) Apple Cucumbers have recovered and are now flowering.
These Bushy Cucumbers where sown into small pots in the greenhouse and are now beginning to set fruit.
More great growth on these Pumpkins that were started in the Greenhouse. Everything seems to catch up at this time of the year. There is some Sorghum growing in that bed somewhere!
