Message: [QUOTE="headfullofbees, post: 234541, member: 408"] It's cold sunny days that are the real killer, as a polytunnel of that size can experience a swing from -3C/-4C with May frosts, to +35C when the sun is fully on it. That'll inhibit nearly every plant except cactii, so my advice would be to delay stocking everything in the polytunnel another fortnight, as even the plants that do ok will do better. I also find that bullhorn peppers are easier to grow here. I don't know why. I picked 7 Corno de Toro Giallo from three plants yesterday for making a batch of pasta sauce, & have numerous fruit on the red "Thor". Molasses is, more or less, the same as black treacle, but if you use equine molasses, that tends to be cheaper itlr. [/QUOTE]
