Looking forward to it tomorrow then, David.

I have to get out in the garden and clean out all the tomatoes that boiled in their

skins.

By the way, how did your chives and parsley growing go?

Cover the bushes with shade cloth and the should be fine

Too late now, and I don't have shade cloth anyway

Winds were gusting at around 60klm/h so anything would have blown away

Sorry to hear that, Can you put up some stakes attatch/tie the shade cloth to them?  It should stay attached in the wind ( mine does )  ..... Am assuming you have a Bunnings near you, they sell shade cloth     ..... Better than losing your tomato crop

they are still alive but seem like they are not very happy, the chives still look like single blades of grass and the parsley has only just put out second pairs of leaves.

do they normally take so long to start growing?

[imastawka]

No they should be lush and filling up the pot by now.

My chives look like a sea of grass and the parsley like small shrubs.

Both are about 18 inches high.

Did you fertilise them and keep up the water every day?

Lyhargr, I'm not home everyday, so I couldn't save them in the heat.

I don't have spare stakes either.

I rely on others to take me to Bunnings.
