WIld Wind

'Wild Spirit, which art moving everywhere;
Destroyer and Preserver....' Shelley


There's a really blustery wind blowing, and fine rain, which prevented me from attempting work on the plot today. Instead, I took refuge in the greenhouse and planted seeds, in an attempt to feel industrious.

Red Onion F1 Kamal seed (Suttons) bought today
Sutton Broad Bean
Broad Bean Express Eleonora
Tomato Cuor de Bleu (B&Q Italian variety)
Tomato Koralic

Chitted some first early potatoes that I found in B&Q, I think they were 'foremost'.

I also bought some seed trays and dithered over whether to buy a heated propergator now or wait two weeks till my birthday. Decided to wait and do some research. I got a clear plastic cover for my delicate seeds as a temporary solution.

I really can't wait to get going on the planting now. I'm still waiting on a big seed order from the other day to get going on leeks and broccoli. My greenhouse is pretty sheltered so I can get away with using it to harden off young seedlings without heating it. I just bring them indoors if it looks like a particulary cold night.

Tomorrow I'm hoping to get my manure to the plot that I picked up on Tuesday. I have also got a new free source from a lady I met at my son's nursery, she has stables just up the road, so that is a real result!
