All Sowed Up!

The seeds that I managed to get sown up to the first week in February have come through pretty well now.

Cauliflowers, leeks, peppers, onions

 You'll notice the slug pellets around and in the pots of my onion seedlings.  That's because overnight I lost eight or nine of my seedlings to a slug!  I know, I know - shutting the door after the horse has bolted and all that - but honestly - they were inside a zip up greenhouse, inside my polytunnel - slugs obviously have a bigger brain than I give them credit for!!

It's more than my seeds that are sown!  I'm pretty sewn up myself just now having just got out of hospital after a big op.

Got a visit from the district nurse yesterday armed

Broad Beans, Chillis, Aubergines                                                                   

Tomatoes

with a pair of pliers (at least they looked like pliers!) to remove my many staples.

I'm sore, weak, tired but also so frustrated because I want to get into the garden to get on with all the jobs that need doing at this time of year - but I can't!

I have to content myself looking out the window, planning what's going where, and once a day taking a slow walk to have a look and see how my seedlings are coming on.

The empty green pots are for planting out my tomato plants once they get a bit more established.
Hopefully the water resevoir in each pot will ensure they get enough water going down to the roots without getting the foliage wet.
  I'm looking forward this year to growing tomatoes that actually ripen.  Have sown a few different varieties from centiflaur to giant amish paste, and some in between. I'll let you know how  they get on.
