Hello, ollieoc.
Good to see a new forumite, welcome to our happy bunch. I hope you get all the help you need - I don't have a polytunnel so I can't help you there. I'm sure others will have good advice though. |

Hello Ollieoc, welcome. You might want to start going through the polytunnel thread on the home page, any amount of old posts there with loads of info. Resurrect a few and revive them.
I would have thought that the first tomatoe to redden would be the one nearest the main stem. You picked a bad year to start your hobby, most of my veg is a no show this year. _________________ “It’s my field. It’s my child. I nursed it. I nourished it. I saw to its every want.
