Things are growing!

The seeds I planted just 5 days ago have all germinated! The extra warmth on the kitchen windowsill has obviously done the trick. They are now growing so fast, you can almost see it! 

Sweetcorn seedlings

Courgette seedlings

And the crops outside have done pretty well this week too...

Spinach, salad and onions

Potatoes

Strawberries

Salad crops

Garlic and peas

At last - the sun has returned!

Phew! - after all the rain we've had over the last few weeks, I was beginning to wonder if the sun would ever return, but today's been glorious. I've put the salad plants that were in the greenhouse out into the raised bed. I'm not sure I'll bother planting them inside next year  as those I planted outside 2 weeks later seem much bigger and healthier already.
