It warmed up again today, reaching a dizzying height of 20°C in the poly tunnel. A bumble bee made an appearance and was busy with some broad beans which have overwintered in there and flowering nicely.
The lettuce we planted a couple of weeks ago are starting to look like lettuce with their second set of leaves broadening out, but they are a few weeks away from being planted out.
We managed to finish off the rotavating in the poly tunnel yesterday and the soil came up to an amazintg ’tilth’ considering it hab been really badly compacted only a few hours before.
We are hoping that these tomato seedlings will fill the place and give us a bountiful crop over the summer.
Looking good Neil. How long ago did you sow those tomato seeds? I sowed mine a couple of weeks ago and no sign of life yet.
Hi Joe. They were sown on the 28th of Feb. They are kept at 20 Celsius in a thermostatic, humid propagator which helps.
