Not sown any toms yet, there hasn't been any room in the propagator. I've taken the cover of the chillies though so should have some room in a couple of days. Seedlings on the window ledge are looking OK.
Kinda dull and damp this morning with a light sea fret type rain, had very heavy rain through the night so the garden is water logged again, slight breeze and at 6.1c not to bad temperature wise I do see a break in the clouds so maybe just maybe the sun will get through.
Not gardening weather in Stockton but come next weekend the heated sandbox will be fired up and the Tomato seed will go in plus the first pots of sweet peas. I do not mess with them they go in deep pots out of the packet and left to set and grow on, then drop them out of the pot into position and sow some extra seeds around for a longer flowering time. I do not go with all the mystique for growing sweet peas.
Just back from shopping trip out of town - huge hail and thunderstorm, power went off 3 times in the store, interminable wait for the tills to boot up...not the most pleasant Saturday outing.
Very soggy underfoot and poss more snow or rain to come. Last year at this time Nr Norwich we had a forthcoming Drought what a difference this year ... Please lets have a little sun.

Dull, wet and windy here.

Looked like rain all morning but stayed dry and the sun came out.
Started off making some fresh seaweed feed today. The lid on the bin must leak because it was full of old feed from last year, it doesn't age well

Another cold, wet, windy day. It's never ending.
