The month (1st) started off with a decent flurry of snow which covered the allotment. Fortunately it only lasted a day or two and it soon melted away. This Winter hasn't seen much really cold weather, last Winter saw three good falls of snow and much lower temperatures.
Today (6th) I was in the greenhouse sowing the first seeds of the season. I had a free packet of Shirley F1 tomatoes so I'm giving them a go instead of my usual Alicante. I'm also sowing Bulls Horns sweet peppers and some Musselburgh leeks.
The pots were placed in a heated propagator to get going and they'll remain on a windowsill in the house until warmer weather appears - it's too cold in an unheated greenhouse at the moment.
That's it for now - bye.
