Absolutely nothing has germinated in the potting shed...no tomatoes, peppers, chillies, cape gooseberries, aubergines or strawberries; in almost 7 weeks!! Well, I say nothing, there is a little weed in one of the pots but that does not count. So, I have come to the conclusion that it has been far too cold.
It is starting to warm up now, so my plan of action is to re-sow over the Easter weekend, but I might also pay a visit to the garden centre and procure some back up plants just in case. I also have a long list of other crops to sow as it is almost the end of March which is usually the busiest sowing month and I have not made a start yet.
Apparently, the weather is going to be rubbish... wet and miserable but I must get the chitting potatoes planted - it's tradition to do it at Easter. I also need to get the garlic and onion / shallot sets in the ground so hopefully the bed is not too wet.
So much to do....
