As well as some outdoor plants we've decided to grow a few cucumbers and tomatoes in our little greenhouse. As much an experiment as anything else....
Almost certainly incorrectly, we've alternated the plants in two grow bags. We realised that these are both plants that do better if they stretch out a little, so we had to come up with a way to help them....netting?
I am absolutely useless at making things, the ultimate un-practical man. So how could I give them a little assistance? Well, we just draped netting from one side of the greenhouse, across the ceiling, then down the other side, under the grow bags, and back up to the frame. Whether this will prove to be effective, who knows? But I was over-impressed with the result of my terrible handiwork.
I hope the whole thing stays standing, as one of the cucumbers has started to flower and fruit already! We'll be knee-deep in them within the week....
