Big cover up

When I last looked a couple of days ago the forecasts didn’t suggest we would be getting any frosts over the next few days. However, I noticed this morning that had changed and a frost was now forecast for Thursday morning.

An experiment at germinating tomato seeds

I usually sow our tomato seeds at the beginning of April. This year was no different as I sowed our seeds on 08 April. We don’t have any heating at all in our greenhouse so in order to get quick germination the seeds are placed under a growlight situated in a spare room indoors.

Winter returns - gardening dilemma

We had some lovely mild sunny days towards the end of March giving us the warmest day of the year so far as the temperature reached 19.7°C or 67.5°F. However, it was just to fool us into thinking that spring had arrived as this week winter has certainly returned with cold frosty nights and snow showers by day.
