Progress so far on three crops

The Aubergines have been planted fro two weeks now but made little growth, I think due to the cold weather we had this past 10 days. We closed down the tunnel vents in an attempt to keep the temperature higher over night, this week we maintained 15 to 18 C minimum night temp. Hopefully this will stimulate improved growth rates. We've just planted the sweet peppers seen at the top of this picture and for the first time we are growing some chili peppers.
The Lettuce in the tunnel are going well, this is the final planting under polythene before Autumn, I anticipate them being harvested in 3 to 4 weeks depending on weather.


The outdoor planting of beetroot is established and starting to grow away. They were sown direct into 150 module trays and planted through our usual maize mulch.
