I’ve decided to take a chance and plant four of my cucumber plants into the polytunnel. It is quite warm inside even though I don’t close the door (well, I can’t, the zip is broken but it is not worth doing anything about it, the tunnel is rather old)

I’ve also planted some lettuce seedlings there a little while ago and they seem to thrive so I’ve got high hopes for the cucumbers. The plan is that they will climb, each is planted beside a pole and as they grow I’ll help them along by tying them to it.
