If one of my hugel beds seems to have disappeared, another I built more recently certainly hasn’t. Besides, it is clearly a good place to grow, although whether that is because of the wood or just what would be happening without it I wouldn’t like to say.
One thing is for certain: the hugel bed has not been detrimental to the growth of the tomato plant which lost its main shoot while it was hardening off. As you can see in the above photo, it has in fact become quite bushy.
Elsewhere, the tomato plants are doing well, too. There are even tomatoes already ripening on the vine, so we could well be eating them before the end of the month. Tomatoes in July would be a pleasant gift from the garden indeed.

So love tomatoes too Helen, your plants look very healthy. Great to be able to harvest from your own garden, the scent is so good. 🙂
The scent is indeed marvellous, Agnes. Even just brushing past them produces such a wonderful smell 😊.
Tomatoes! It’s official summer, Helen. Enjoy.
How are your tomatoes, Alys?
I’m getting a meager but delicious crop of small orange tomatoes. They’re sweet and juicy. We’ve had them alone and in a green salad.
Juicy sounds good – our first tomatoes yesterday should perhaps have been left another day or two but I couldn’t resist!
They’re hard to resist, I know. I’ve just posted about my sad little crop this year.
I look forward to reading your next post, Alys.
Thank you, Helen. I’m off to bed, as you start a new day. Enjoy!
Hope you get a good night’s sleep – yes, just about to get ready for work myself!
