Tuesday was cooler than of late. There was a reasonable amount of sunshine but a cool breeze took the edge off the temperatures. There is no doubt that the warm start to April has brought our fruit trees into blossom and leaf much earlier than last year. I'm not sure if this is good or bad, it probably depends on any frost damage to the blossom. The two pictures below show our plum and greengage trees last April and this.

Plum tree comparison So far so good for our tomato seedlings under our new indoor grow light. They have now been pricked out into individual cells and are in our cold greenhouse. The difference in overnight temperatures will be quite a shock for them. I've also re-sown some Crimson Flowered broad bean seeds after the last ones were devoured by a hungry mouse. As it happens it wasn't just one mouse as I've now trapped 6 mice over the last 3 nights. Seed trays and other plants are protected by mouse traps to try to protect them from marauding mice during the night. Lots of our brassica seeds have germinated and are ready for potting on. I'm just a little wary as the mouse demolished my last batch of young cabbage plants.
