          • Soaked 2 types of butternut squash and sowed them. Alderman peas chitted successfully so sown in tall pots.
            On plot sowed 2 half rows of carrots Nantes 5 between the onions under cloche.
            More perpetual spinach in modules as first lot struggling due to slugfest.
            Have decided not to sow parsley but to wait until last years plants seed in July/august and sow straight away and overwinter. This was very successful last year both for germination and for stronger plants.

                  Yea turns out it does still germinate but bit more patchy. Should have enough though as I sowed extra. Didn’t have great sweetcorn last year, the seedlings died back before I got them outside. Hoping for better this year.

                            • Tried to create a barrier of sticks to dissuade the fox from digging up my pea seedlings. Not sure why it has done it for the last few nights. Seemed to work last night at least.

                              • Put runner beans, CFB's and courgettes to chit today. I'm undecided whether to bother trying to chit 5yo squash seeds, probably won't have room for them anyway.
