Sourdough starter is easy. Just mix some flour and warm water to about the consistency of yoghurt and leave it lying around in the kitchen for a week, feeding it every day with a tablespoon of flour and more water. I used flour with malty bits because I thought it might help, but I know others just use normal bread flour. Some people put dried fruit or rhubarb in to start it off, but I didn't and mine seems to work fine.
Morning all. Cold here too. Been to get papers and hang washing out. Quick to get back in! Need to sow more seeds. Difficult as I can't imagine it being warm and sunny enough to put anything in garden. Got some broadbean plants growing in my coldframe. May put them in garden. What do you think? Good idea?? Was going to have some breakfast but someone has put program on tv about a 42stone mum. Put me right off
Feeling drained this morning after yesterday's lunch, but at least the kitchen and dining room are clean and tidy now. Quiet morning, gardening this afternoon. Still got after winter clearing up to do.
I had bought a tray of 6 early fruiting tomato plants to have some in the greenhouse before my seedlings are ready. Completely forgot them and left them outside for 2 nights. Last night was -2° and light frost on lawn. Tomatoes look fine! They are now in the GH.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Spent yesterday potting up seedlings and pottering in the garden. It was so hot in the greenhouse i was actually sweating, had forgotten what that was. Tomato and chilli plants looking good.

Cold again here, with grey skies.
