Look how they've grown ! I am going to pot them up now . I could have put them one seed into each 3or 4" pot but this way I can get more of them all onto the propagator .
You can sow them direct outside when the weather warms up , but I have more success doing mine this way .
Abracadabra ...... and they're done and now residing in the warmth of the greenhouse , just until they've settled in .
I won't be planting these out for quite some time yet , maybe the middle of May or so for us down here in the far south west of Cornwall . Keeping a close eye on what the weather might be doing then though .
If you live further up country , you'd probably best wait until the end of May .
It's a bit cloudy today and I'd be grateful for a passing shower or two to water in the onions sets, spring onions ,that I planted and the carrot and parsnip seeds that I sowed yesterday .
The rain ceased as soon as our new guttering and water-butts were fitted up on the greenhouse and I'm back to carrying watering cans from the cottage all the way up to the vegetable garden .
I have no idea where my husband has hidden the hosepipe ....grrrrrr I tried wheeling the cans up in the wheel barrow but it sloshes all over the place as I push it uphill . I will have to buy another two hoses.....I have to connect two together to reach all the way up to the vegetable garden .
Everything I do in the garden right now is so hard on my back .
Time for a flop and some hand cream .
Tomorrow's job is to pot up the Cucumbers Femspot and Beth Alpha .
How's it all going with you ?
