Some photos of the largest greenhouse

.
 Mainly squashes and courgettes, including Jap, Potimarron, Trombe d'Albergo and Atela, sweet potatoes, oca and various seedlings. Also some experiments at growing galangal, turmeric and eddoes - no sign of life with these yet.
 A back wall of tomatoes: some growing through the  top window, other trained horizontally along the right hand side.

More tomatoes, all grown from the armpits of those at the back. Some squashes including 3 Babat plants. A tub of potatoes and a pot of Achocha. Two Minimunch cucumbers hidden amongst the armpits!

The tomatoes have been slow to set. Finally they seem to be developing but are still green, very green! Here's hoping for a late warm spell after this dismal, wet so-called summer.
