April

Potatoes - First earlies under glass - 2 of the 18 I put in early March have shown through - covered them back over!

Last weekend - put in rest of first earlies - 16 I think - I've put these 2 across my 4 foot raised beds as I will be digging these up later than the first lot I put in.

Rest of potatoes still chitting in the garage - will put them in this month.

Onion Sets - The ones I put in last autumn have had a few failures so I've replaced these. I put a 6m row in 2 weeks ago on top allotment and then 2 more bags arrived from T&M that I'd forgotten I'd ordered (last August surprise) so I've put them in last weekend - I'll have to count them - must be over 100!

Parsnips - 1 row sowed - never done them before

Carrots - Early Nantes sowed

Peas - 2 inch tall in toilet roll inners in greenhouse

Tomatoes - Sungold and Sun Cherry all doing well - 6 to 8" tall. Have sowed some Ailsa Craig about 10 days ago too.

Leeks - 2 lots in greenhouse
