A few days ago the forecast for Wednesday was for heavy rain which turned into the possibility of showers and in the end even the showers didn't materialize. The forecast for the next week doesn't forecast much rain so an exceptionally dry March may well be followed by a dry April. Although it felt pretty cool for most of the day temperatures were around expected for April.

| Tomato plants transplanted |
I transplanted our second batch of tomato seedlings which had been growing under our indoor grow light. These had been sown in John Innes compost in a 60 cell module. The cell have rather large holes in the bases which resulted in them soaking up too much water from the capillary matting and the young seedlings were trying to grow in John Innes mud. This made transplanting difficult as the compost was two wet to come cleanly out of the individual cells. I think whenever possible it will be best to water the seeds as necessary from the top rather than using the capillary matting.

Your little plants look healthy. My tomato are just come up. I've heard rumour of snow at easter in NI, not sure what england forecast is like.
ReplyDeleteThe forecasts I check only go to Good Friday at the moment. I'm not sure about the snow but they've certainly got some frosty nights predicted for Northern England and NI around 21st & 22nd so the tomato plants might need a little protection
