Lots to report on this week…

The greenhouse got christened and the plants moved in. This is going to be so helpful, as I wouldn’t have the room indoors for all the babies. The courgettes and beans have had a growth spurt and think they’re loving their new home. This job was both quite easy and very satisfying 🙂

… and I had a bit of assistance… who needed to do a quality control check in the new greenhouse…

Yes, I’m propagating a cat!

The salad leaves have also responded to the warmer weather and are just about ready to start harvesting. So I will soon need to decide when to sow more, for proper lettuces later in the year.

How many recipes can I think of for salad leaves?

The trickiest job by far this week has been transferring the tomato seedlings to individual pots… slowly, gently, there was no hurrying this task. But I wasted very few, re-potted lots(!) in the hope that some might survive. If I’m lucky enough for several to grow on and more than I have space for here, will consider selling/giving away or exchanging my surplus 🙂

How many will survive moving?

Ok, not particularly tidy looking, but give them a chance…

Last by not least for this week – the fruit plants continue to grow and we have the first flower buds showing!

Yes! We have flower bud!

Next week… the first harvest (yay) and the courgettes and beans go out!
