Just a quick post. As last season, I've sown my first seed of the year on 23rd January. I've sown the last of my Marmande Beefsteak tomatoes, last year's seed and my usual Alicante tomatoes.
I grew too many tomato plants last year, I had ten plants in the greenhouse and another two in my lean-to at the allotment. This year I want to reduce wastage and effort by growing less so, I've sown my remaining six Marmande seeds and a fair few Alicante in an effort to get around six Alicante and a couple of Marmande. That will be plenty.
I've also sown a small tray of Musselburgh leeks; I'll transplant around forty into a larger, deeper tray when they are large enough to handle. They'll be planted out on the plot end of May, beginning of June. Both tomatoes and leeks have been placed in a heated propagator to germinate.
The weather has been cold again this week with frosty mornings with freezing fog lifting mid-morning to reveal blue skies. There hasn't been too much rain at all.
That's it for this quick update, bye for now.
