Hi, I just wondered if it was too late to plant cherry tomatoes! Also what else could I be looking at planting now. I have cucumbers, pumpkins, cauliflower, broccoli, capsicum, lettuce.
Also I have recently brought a mandarin tree. Will it grow ok in Chch!
Thank you

Cherry tomatoes will be fine, however if you put the plant in a good sized pot, it's both easier to feed, and you can bring it inside if the weather turns sour earlier than expected. I'm sowing lettuce and mesclun, baby carrots, radishes, beets etc, and planting courgettes(to take over from the ones already producing), cucumbers, corn, capsicum, basil and other annual herbs.

The mandarin will survive, but needs a fair bit of protection. Against a north-facing wall is best, with protection overhead in winter. Good watering and plenty of compost around the roots and it should cope. Worth a try.
