                • As a new veg grower (largely have shrubs, wildflowers, and roses at the moment - and hoping for an allotment plot soon), so my first jobs will be sowing (basic / quick growing types):

                  Lettuce
                  Spinach
                  Rocket
                  Mustard Cress
                  Carrots

                  and a few herbs

                      • Today I shall be planting physalis out into the veg plot - have reported in the GH and run out of space so in the ground the rest of them go!

                        Also hoping to sow some seeds.
                        Another happy Nutter...

                            • at the moment I am watering the plot before work (in my suit!), on the plus side, it does mean I get to pick super-ripe blackberries and eat them for breakfast.
