I have gardened in Liverpool for years by trial and error. This year's new focus is to get the most veg out of four small raised beds.

Solanum lycopersicum 'Sungold' syn. Solanum lycopersicum 'Sun Gold'

Well done 👍🏻 I started mine off early under grow lights, I had to pollinate the flowers with an eyeshadow brush! @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

I got some grow lights and a propagator for xmas/birthday so I have enjoyed trying to get a head start with our favourite veg. It has been hard work though Jane @pelly I haven't really the space when they are bigger and it is still too cold, and this year it is hard to get compost for potting on. I will rethink for next year 🤔

I managed to get three bags of compost a couple of weeks ago but I started the last one today, it doesn't go far at this time of the year does it. I hope you manage to source some 👍

I put some effort into it, I got a heated propagator and some grow lamps for xmas/birthday. I won't start them off quite so early next year because they are not tiny seedlings on the windowsill and take a bit of shuffling around. I also had to tickle the flowers with an eyeshadow brush as I keep pollinating insects out of my dining room if possible 😂 @pelly
