What news have I got for you from the east coast today?
The weather was bright first thing so I got out to the shed to prick out the seedlings and pot up the largest of the tomato plants from modules into 3inch pots. I then sowed 4 of the frighteningly expensive cucumber seeds.
I had a count up of seedlings/ plants growing so far, if they don't die on me we have
18 Sweet Pepper plants
10 Aubergine plants
75 various Tomato plants
All of the above are for the poly tunnels to produce things for us to sell
And several Parsley plants also to sell
Then I washed all the pots and seed trays that have been used so far this year.
Him Outside has been starting to line out the new gents toilet shed.
Once it started to rain we decided on a lazy Friday afternoon.
I only found out last night that a lady who has just started commenting on my blog is the Nan of our youngest daughters partner. So an extra welcome to Janet!
