Back to the here-and-now: finally managed to sow a handful of tomato seeds this week. Late as usual. If you haven't sown any yet, you should probably give up the intention and beg some transplants from a friendly neighbour. This year I will be growing yellow cherries ('Yellow Pear') for the first time, plus a new cherry red 'Chadwick' and a plum variety for cooking with. Also 2 x 77's of salads, herbs and orientals are on the go. That's 154 little modules of tender leaves ready for planting out in April. Extremely exciting, but substantial successive sowing is required if there is to be any chance of making it to market this summer. I am currently researching bulk compostable/recycleable/etc pots for transplants, please send any suggestions.

Hi Shiv
Well done on your lovely blog.
I just started planting myself, having grown toms and peas well last year. I also have a blog www.valskitchen.com which has been great fun and I love it
I wrote about Trish from Wildes and she sent me a link

Hi Shiv,
I have to agree with Val about your blog, but my own planting will have to wait until I get a bit of land and some time. For now I'll have to live vicariously through yours!!
