Strip at least half the leaves off to help ripening them Andy,but also it stops the plant putting its energy into growing the leaves(just the fruit)

I've been going through our small greenhouse today and removing some more leaves. I like to do it to stop them going mouldy (wet 'n humid down here) but also to give more light to the other things I've crammed into the space.

 

Picked a good few ripe toms and been eating cucumbers for a few weeks now. Chillies and peppers set and just starting to ripen.

Seems like a good year for chillies, mine are very numerous and large already. Though I think they're always a good bet as seem to do well most years. We're picking them already. Even though they're not quite ripe yet, still green, they've got a fair poke of heat.
Picking a handful of toms each day now and almost as many gherkins.
