Good old english weather

Due to the forecast for the day being rather nice the plan so cunning etc etc was to spend some time on the allotment weeding the beds. However, when the hailstones started I realised that the weatherman was a little bit out with his prediction so spent the afternoon in the garage listening to Planet Rock and planting seeds that can't go straight in the ground.



In the propagator are such diverse elements as:-
Tomatoes - Super Marmande, Golden Sunrise, Ailsa Craig, Gardner's Delight.
Brussel Sprouts - Bitesize
Savoy Cabbage - Resolution.

In the seed trays which will go up in the cold frame on the allotment are:-
French Climbing Beans - Sultana
Cauliflower - Igloo, Romanesco, Trevi
Rhubarb - Early Red.
Peas - Misc

The peas are the ones I dried from the plot last year which, so the word on the street goes, work with that particular sort of soil as they've grown there once already. If that doesn't prove to be the case then Louise's custard cream ration will have to be re-evaluated ;-)

Directly into the ground will go carrots, parsnips, onions (spring and otherwise) and any other seeds I have left over in my secret stash.

Now for a large jam scone to replenish all those calories sat in the comfy chair in the garage. It's a hard life... it really is.
