TYPICAL!!!!!

After planting out my first cucumber yesterday -I got up this morning and we have had rain in the night!!! first time in about 3 weeks...I could have bet diamonds on it...

Anyway -I went scuttling out and peeped behind the fleece and although the compost is moist -not much rain has got through -thank heavens, and as far as I can see the cucumber is fine -having even wrapped his tendril tighter around the string -yipee ! So I have left his fleece on and having checked the tomatoes -they are all fine too..so the fleece is staying on there too ;-)

If the weather recovers by the weekend and the tomatoes and cumber are still doing ok -I'm going to get the other tomatoes n cucumbers out -I have plenty of fleece I can put in place ready to just drop down when they need it...

Other things to report today are that the first of my beetroot and scorzonera are through .... and there was no sign of them yesterday evening! ...the scorzonera is about 3/4" tall and appears to be growing a bit like spring onions.
I also have the first of my raddishes braking the surface too.

Im planning on moving the peppers I have grown from a pepper in the fridge into individual pots today -think they will be fine in big cottage cheese pots until they are ready to go out..
