Garden bed 06 - September 2025
Each garden bed is divided into 8 "Units" - see letter A, B, C, D, E, F,G & H on long side wooden sleepers. This helps us locate the plant areas for seeding, planting seedlings, harvesting and so on.

Tomatoes Tommy Toe
Tomato varieties can be classified by the size and shape of their fruit or by the growth habit of the plants. In this guide, tomato plants are classified as determinate (non-climbing) or indeterminate (climbing). Determinate tomato plants grow as bushes; staking them is optional, and plants are usually left unpruned. Indeterminate tomato plants grow as vines and often need pruning and staking to control their growth.
