I've been sowing seeds in the kitchen it's been so cold outsideA tab bit disappointed with germination. Twelve chilli Apache seeds sown and only three have come up, sadly going leggy whilst I wait for the others to show. Cayenne just two seeds showing, peppers are no better...
- 4° and sunny at 8am. Greenhouse thermometer said it had been to -5°, but it's on the bottom bench and the heater and electric propogaters are on the top bench. The 19 germinated tomatoes look OK though.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Wet & increasingly windy here in Manchester. About 6-7C out there now.
If tomorrow is dry(er) I may, then may not, done wellies & waterproof gloves to finish cutting back the dead herbaceous at daughter's house. We're not totally sure yet what surprises await her, but time will tell. J.
Yes I'm just watchin gthe forecast on the BBC and it's not looking very good for the whole of the country, heavy rain and snow oh and now thunder ho hum !

Have got my seeds in the conservatory and they are doing well
. Made a makeshift "shade" from an old net curtain which does the job perfectly!
