You know that thing where the weather forecast is bad news and then you plan a load of inside chores and you look out the window and it's a perfectly bright and lovely afternoon but you can't go out? Well, that. And then a day in Bath with my mother and sister. I've missed my allotment, but a couple of days off now when there isn't too much going on is probably a blessing in disguise. I'm going back tomorrow, come rain or shine; where I will prepare a bed for courgettes (dig football-sized holes, fill with compost, water in), mark out some beds with planks, weed, make a frame for my fleece, attempt to prepare a couple of trenches for runner beans, make a pea teepee.
At home, things are generally going well with the seedlings. It is busy - seedlings get repotted, new pots sun themselves on my bedroom window for a day or so, get put into the mini greenhouse, go out for a few hours every day and then go back into the greenhouse. They're mostly looking fairly well; the marigolds still look a bit peaky but they don't look dead ...yet. Still nothing on the chilli, celeriac or strawberry front but tonight I noticed a tiny green shoot in the parsnips. So there is hope.
