Arrival of Spring (Finally)

Well it looks like that Spring has finally arrived in South West corner of Cumbria. I went down the plot on Friday and the temperature in the Greenhouse was a balmy 23 C, goodbye Winter (I hope). While I was there on Friday I got the Raspberry, Blueberry and Redcurrant bushes potted up, I just need to get another one of each so they can cross pollinate.
                                                                                           

  

  I also built myself a little "cooker" for boiling a kettle on (I'm sick of warm/cool coffee out of a flask).

On a visit to the plot today I knocked up some temporary staging, the Strawberry and Herb plants on it will be getting planted out soon, once I've decided where. I sowed some Peas, Beans, and Sweetcorn in to some fibre pots today but since I've never used them before I'm a bit reserved about doing too many, I'm going to use this year as a experiment year with them and still sow in plastic pots as well. Today's temp was a bit cooler but I did have the door open in the Greenhouse.
The forecast is looking pretty good for the week so I think the theme this week is going to be sow,sow,sow in the plot "office" (below).



Thanks a lot for reading.
