Managed a quick trip to plots & rotavated the area I had been digging. Also did bulk of the 1/2 plot that I had covered over winter, the latter was still quite wet and sticky but I pushed it through, might have to go over it again when it dries.
I've started taking my tomato seedlings out to the greenhouse during the day, they had been in a sunny south facing window but were growing horizontally. Made a start on fitting scaffold netting over the raised beds to keep the cats out.
I have my toms seeds at the point of the first true set of leaves @Wilderbeast so maybe a bit behind you. I still have to turn them daily to stop them bending, but if yours are bigger maybe it's re potting time , at which point they would be buried up to the first leaf, so not so much to bend. In the past I have had to put sticks in to tie them up to, and if it's been a fast growing year they have had the first truss of flowers on before they went in the ground.
Morning at allotment , more repairs done and staining done Did sew some more Broad Beans Afternoon put some netting on a part of Stream Bank Hoping to go to allotment tomorrow as well
Busy weekend on the veg plot. Planted onion sets, sowed parsnips, red cabbage, basil, marjoram and celeriac. I built timber frames and netted over all the raised beds to keep cats out.
Tomato seedlings are coming along nicely they spend the day in the greenhouse then come in at night.
Earthed up the bagged potatoes adding 10 lts compost to each bag, they certainly seem happy in the greenhouse.
Full day at allotment , lots of jobs done , to many to list but very pleased Not planning on going any where over Easter so it looks like allotment and garden , hopefully weathers ok However did have to water , ground bone dry

Marrigolds, lettuce and hardy brassacas

No sign of Chillis and peppers germinating in heated propogator but I think they take two to three weeks.
