Paradižniki

Letos so s paradižniki sami problemi. Najprej je bilo premraz za sajenje, potem niso hoteli rasti, potem so obrodili in niso hoteli dozoreti, zdaj pa spet prihaja mraz, zelenih plodov je pa na rastlinah še na kupe.

This was not a good year for tomatoes. At first, it was too cold to plant them, then they didn’t want to grow, then they didn’t want to mature. Now it is almost winter again (3 deg. C in the morning) and the plants are still full of nice, big, green tomatoes :(

V upanju na to, da bomo čez vikend splezali nazaj na deset (jutranjih) stopinj, smo jim v hiško postavili »talno ogrevanje« – star električni kalorifer. Zaenkrat je pomagalo.

Weather report says that we’ll be returning to more normal temperatures soon so for the time being the tomatoes got a  “floor heating” – an old electric heater which works over the night. So far, it helped.
