I've been terribly busy planting and generally working in the garden. So I missed the first three weeks of growth. Unfortunately, in April a hard frost hit and burned the already flowering plants and trees 😭. Zamnesia gave me free tomato and strawberry seeds, they are growing great and I will post pics and info on how they are growing 😘💪.
first week of flowering :
So far everything goes without problems. I really like how small the trees are, I hope the flowers won't be so small 😂. As a preventive measure I spray the plants with neem oil (against infestation by silkworms and similar bugs).
Tomatoes grow like crazy, so do strawberries and I have a little helper too 😹.

soil : plagron allmix
so far no problem, the plants are quite small but according to Zamnesia's description they are supposed to be 55 - 75 cm, maybe it's because they are outside and the sun hasn't been shining so much for the last 14 days. But thx god it's not raining, so I'm not so worried about mildew. I struggle with spider mites, but that's just an outdoor classic, you never get an aseptic environment in a greenhouse. But I'd say neem oil helps a lot.
The strawberries are growing like crazy and the same with the tomatoes, I'll have to give them more attention and prune them a bit.
All the flowers are doing well, they look very vital and healthy and I'm glad 🙏😇. They have stayed smaller in stature and that probably won't change, but it doesn't matter, they are compact and don't attract so much attention. The buds are getting stronger and the smell is just great, sweet notes of ripe fruit that you almost have the urge to taste 😝.
The weather is finally awesome, good sun, warmth and minimal humidity, and according to the weather forecast it should be the same next week.
I'm still using neem oil spray as a preventative measure.
This week has been very hot, dry and warm, which is great and the flowers are enjoying it😎. Slowly but surely they're starting to ripen, I reckon 2-3 weeks and they'll be done👌😋.
I do not recommend this strain for the greenhouse, you can not control how the sun will shine and the overall weather conditions. That's why the flowers stayed small and I wasn't happy with the effects either 😥
