Paging Adie

Discussion in 'UK Motorcycles' started by steve auvache, Dec 4, 2004.

  1. I have had this idea for absolutely ages now and according to ukrm you
    are just the person to ask if it will work.

    I like all sorts of tomatoes me but I like home-grown most of all and
    every other year I grow me own and am always up for a little trick or
    three to lengthen the growing season.

    One of the tricks is to grow the so called "patio" varieties indoors in
    a pot. Now this works well where you have a conservatory or something
    with glass to the ground and also the space to elevate them so that they
    can trail all on their own, which they do love but it is not a lot of
    cop on the windowsill. Tomatoes in pots on windowsills slightly out of
    their natural season are invariably not happy bunnies in my experience.

    So, I have come up with this idea.

    See, these patio varieties are trailing plants and are quite happy to
    dangle so it sort of occurred to me that it might be possible to grow
    them at the top of the window and let them hang down to flower and
    fruit. It needs a grow bag in a hammock really, what do you reckon?

    Set aside a room; get some grow lights, some quality compost and away
    you go

    Besides I might have other plans for just such a space.

    You have to remember that we're talking about a very old bloke, that
    reeks of piss, who doesn't even know how to change the channel on his
    'new-fangled colour TV' with the 'fuckin' stupid remote thingy'

    So if someone who was familiar with said units, indeed happened to
    have one sitting in the garage doing nothing, offered to show him how
    it all worked in exchange for some 'tomatoes' that would be a service
    to said elderly gent who smells of wee and would gain extra kudos for
    the care in the community aspect?
