I'm finding it tricky to get to the allotment often enough to water my greenhouse plants at the moment, this whole greenhouse thing is still very new for us and you really have to be on top of it don't you! I had exactly the problem you describe with my pumpkins last year, completely lost track of where they started - but I'd forgotten all about it until I read this, thanks!Catherine @ Growing Familyhttp://www.growingfamily.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-49592931990062527802015-07-03T14:07:34.612+02:002015-07-03T14:07:34.612+02:00My tomatoes are certainly thriving this year with ...My tomatoes are certainly thriving this year with the bottles and I am wasting so much less water .. and have less weeds too.A Green and Rosie Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02501989987736281707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-50105667853076188252015-07-03T13:59:39.210+02:002015-07-03T13:59:39.210+02:00If slugs are not causing a lot of damage evening i...If slugs are not causing a lot of damage evening is probably overall the better time.A Green and Rosie Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02501989987736281707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-60663675976338805652015-07-03T13:58:42.223+02:002015-07-03T13:58:42.223+02:00Luckily we don't have too many "limaces&q...Luckily we don't have too many "limaces" - nice word for a slimy pest!A Green and Rosie Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02501989987736281707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-62931013374371834922015-07-03T13:57:23.703+02:002015-07-03T13:57:23.703+02:00There are pros and cons of both ways - luckily we ...There are pros and cons of both ways - luckily we don't have too many slugs so it tends to be when I have time or when the plants really need it.A Green and Rosie Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02501989987736281707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-15967208852037896032015-07-03T13:56:39.576+02:002015-07-03T13:56:39.576+02:00It is very time consuming isn't it?
