I don't have confidence in gro bags because they seem to dry out too easily.
This year I will grow in 3 litre pots using added perlite.
I must confess the obsession this year to grow lots of tomatoes.
I like figrats idea of mixing home made compost imto the mix too. ,definitely will do that.
And I intend to keep tomato,foliage dry to,avoid blight

Wine berry, jostaberry, lingonberry or Worcesterberry
How do you rate them? How do they compare with "usual" fruit like gooseberries, raspberries, etc?
Like Fairygirl, can you educate us a little please?

A few things

Exactly what punkdoc says. It's been such a crazy winter that plants have suffered quite widely. When we get some real warmth again we should see things normalise. ,so wouldn't worry right now
