It's always amazing to see what people are up to with their gardens. I started with a small tomato growing kit a few months ago, and while I have lost a few plants along the way due to either over watering or the current fungus gnat infestation, I have a two small green tomatoes on a plant that are growing nicely. I also have a 4 foot tall fruitless tomato plant that I grew from a seed. What started out as a small hobby is beginning to take over!

It's addictive, isn't it! 😁 I'm sure your for fit one will start producing when the weather warms a bit more.
I've had a horrible powdery mildew problem this winter in the garden. These problems come with the
addictionhobby, unfortunately. Are you growing indoors? I tried capsicums indoors over winter, but I had the gnats too. I turfed the survivor out a bit early, because we were sick of the gnats, but we had a sudden cold rain with hail and that died too. 😮💨Yes, I am growing indoors. I figured it would prevent a lot of problems. The fungus gnats were in the soil apparently, so I am slowly switching to a soil with no bark in it. I've with beetroot not getting past the seedling stage, peas will sprout and get to a certain height before wilting and falling over. My strawberries are doing OK. I have a whole heap of sticky traps for the gnats and even have neem oil but it's expensive.
