A balmy 8-10°C this weekend, the bees were making flights and I got a good deal of the garden and greenhouse cleaned up and ready. Perhaps a bit rashly I have started a few seeds in trays in the airing cupboard.
Yellow Hinkelhatz, DeRata & Jwala peppers,
Thai Long Green & Japanese White Egg aubergines,
Matt's Wild Cherry, Copia, Olirose, Persimmon & Riesenstraube tomatoes and self-saved potato seeds.
Only a week now until our local annual
potato fair and seed swap!

The Excelsior potato from
