      Its Fruits week

      Time to get fruity
      This week I will sow a few Bijou mangetout and DFBs to grow in buckets in the GH. This is an experiment - not recommended if you can't accept failure

      Sow a tray of peas for peashoots using some old seeds.

      Pot up some of the self sown tomato seedlings that are appearing in the GH - another gamble!

      Take some cuttings of blackcurrant, josta and worcesterberries, whist pruning.

      Update:-
      All of the Roots week seedlings are up and some of last week's bunching and Welsh onions are showing.

                    Last day for playing with your "fruits"
                    This week, I'm experimenting with peas and beans.

                    I've sown 7 seeds of each of the following in pots in the GH - 7 seeds = one for each day of the week. Seemed to make sense at the time
                    Wizard Field bean
                    Mascotte DFB
                    Pantheon CFB
                    Bijou Mangetout
                    Twinkle pea

                    On "Friday is for Flowers" Day I scattered some mixed hardy annuals including Candytuft, Godetia, Escholtzia and Limnanthes around the flower beds.

                    Getting excited for Leaves week starting tomorrow

                            ^^^^

                            Its LEAVES week, not Shoots/stalks/stems week.
                            Just focus on LEAVES and LEAVE the Shoots out of it

                            Today I planted out some lettuce seedlings into the GH and tonight I'll be finding some seeds to sow another batch. Also some brassicas and mixed salad leaves and........????
