Getting closer

We have had 5 days of glorious sunshine and no rain in a row now....

So today we have been and collected more compost -hopefully I shouldn't need much, if any more.

So an update on the bits n bobs that are happening at the moment...
out in the brassica tent :-

1. all 6 brussels are through properly now
2. the spinach, chard, broccoli raab, purple sprouting broccoli and kale have quite a little carpet through now
3. I have set the baby caulis, some of the kholrabi and turnips

Inside today I have :-

1. sunk the tomatoes a little deeper -so they are now are tiny little things -but it means they should grow stronger and sturdier...
2. seperated the aubergines into their own pots for now
3. taken 4 more slips of the sweet potato and set them in another tub -that sweet potato doesn't seem to want to stop sprutting, and I just can't stand to throw them away...so heck knows how many I might end up with lol
4. transplanted some of the tiny salad seedlings into a trough -but it is staying indoors for now

Failures to germinate

I have had some failures -mainly some seeds that I thought were past their best -but I tried anyway.... so I have taken the following off of my list as I figure its not worth faffing about with them if they are probably going to make weak plants

1. black beauty aubergines
2. purple beauty pepper
3. mixed mini peppers
4. marconi rossa

So tomorrow I will set more of the other aubergines and I have also set quite a few seeds from a lovely red pepper we had a few weeks ago-even if I only get 1-2 peppers off each it will be worth it.

I also broke up the compost in the 2 dustbins again and got hubby to top them up with new compost for me, and they are now tucked up under black plastic to warm the compost.
