Week 18 .. Everythings Growing

The amazing thing about writing something every week, is that when I reflect upon what we've done... it never seems that great, the activities often seem quite insignificant at the time, but 6 months later you realise that they were crucial!


Examples of this might be the transplanting of the tomatoes, or the sowing of runner beans both of which have been done this week, and not actually taken very long to do!

It's quite tricky at the moment becuase the temperatures are still very low at night so I need to cover the tomatoes and cucumbers with fleece and then uncover in the morning. This video, I shot this morning shows me getting excited in the green house having just removed the fleece!
