Sweetcorn sown in heated propagator on Sunday has emerged, not a sign of anything from the ones in the cold frame. Tomato seeds in propagator have not emerged yet.
Brassica's in trays in cold frame have germinated and are trying to push the covering compost off, they look like a collection of mime artists stuck under a rotting carpet.
Must crack on with sowing more stuff this week. If the OH is in a good mood I can usually get a four tray un-heated propagator on the dining table, but other than taht and in-plot sowings I am limited to a single tray, on or off, heated propagator and a three foot by two foot timber cold frame on the patio, which also does duty as the first stage hardening off zone.
Cannot afford a new greenhouse and whenever one shows up in the local paper it seems to have appeared a day or two before in a different area and so is gone when I ring. I have been on two Freecycle groups looking for a six by eight greenhouse, but no luck so far. http://www.freecycle.org/display.php?region=United%20Kingdom
Tnis is a haphazard record of my two allotment plots totalling twenty rods and my back garden with its twelve foot by eight foot greenhouse.
