sorry to hijack your thread Mojo...........Nigel/Steph, how was the polytunnel this season?

Polytunnel has been mixed.

The tomatoes were disappointing, wrong varieties I think, we used Nova an Italian bush plum tomato that was supposed to be very vigorous. It turned out it was too vigorous and grew everywhere and was impossible to control. If I tried Nova again I'd probably use it outside where the lower temperature might make it less of a monster. Next year its San Marzano for the polytunnel

Chillis, Peppers, Cucumbers have all been amazing, so much more productive than I expected. The Paprika and the Goats Horns have been exceptionally productive.

Sorry Mojo Wink

Thanks Nigel. I too was surprised how well cucs do and I want to try some outdoor toms next year.
