How are the veggies coming along?

There's 2 courgettes in the poly tunnel, about 5 times the size of the ones outdoors, the spring onions growing between them will need picked soon as they are getting more flattened by the day

I read in a book by Dick/James Strawbridge that they grow tomatoes upside down, I guess to keep them away from pests/diseases , and they don't need staked, so thought I would give that a bash using old 10l paint buckets with a hole cut in the bottom. Some cucumber plants dangling in there too. A few of them I sowed some salad in the top.

Once they get a bit bigger I'll need to get them raised up more, might even try a few hanging outside if it's a good summer.

Had radishes and some lettuces. Most stuff chugging along, on v sandy soil here so watering twice most days. 

Corgettes were bitten by the frost so probably won't all pull through. 

 

Tomatoes are some dodgy Russian Bush variety from ebay so see how they perform! 

 

Had pigs on the ground the Corgettes and onions are on and I think there was too much nitrogen which meant some onions didn't sprout, any tips how to remidate this - a mustard crop or something?

Pig manure can be high in phosphorus. It could be that.

If its nitrogen, just cultivating the soil once or twice may release enough.
