Well those of you who really know me will know I love to grow all sorts of enjoyable and consumable plants, anyway today I’ve been potting on my Toms and peppers both hot and sweet types, and although I sulphur bombed the greenhouse a week or two ago I’ve also started to use some stuff I got from the local “exotic plant ” hydroponic store, this is meant to be safe for human consumption and can be used on an almost daily basis and isn’t only good for bugs but it work on moulds and leaf infections as well or so they claim, the stuff is called Neem oil it’s not a poison but a natural pest deterrent, it’s not too expensive either, it has a smell of lemon with a hint of Garlic with it. Anyway I’ve am going to use this oil to keep the bugs out of there and off me plants this year, as I’ve tried sticky pads but they kill good bugs to and I don’t like poisons so will use Neem oil on the plants and in the greenhouse in general as they say the scent should keep the area bug free.

our good friend and next door neighbour Eric fixed my big shed to the ground today. It had shifted over a foot lately with the strong winds we've had.. Now it's nice and sturdy, going nowhere. I've so much sorting to do though. Lol
My first early spuds are already planted too.. I never know when to plant what, I'm fekkin useless and mi fingers are far from green. Only thing I can grow is stubble :?Me-Tony
