    I only grow mine in pots and find they do better when south facing. Been in the GH for some time now in order to avoid our incessant rain.

    Latest moan from you and me 2026

    The postman/woman only comes up my street about three days a week, so waiting for them to get round to picking up a parcel is a bit of a lottery.

    Recommendations for quality compost?

    Any recommendations for a good quality compost for growing vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers? Last year was a disaster and the compost I purchased was infested with fungus gnats.
