Well I got back from Nottingham on Sunday to find everything still very much alive. My new seeds have all appeared with the warm weather, so now there are tiny rocket and lettuce leaves as well as the toms on the windowsill. (above) The big surprise though, was the spuds, which seem to have shot up out of nowhere to a fair size already. (below)
Meanwhile the existing radishes, onions, garlic and tomato seedlings have got even bigger. I'm regretting not planting the toms in individual pots! The biggest are a good 4" now and getting sturdier. (below) I'm concerned that the radishes are going to get too big for the onions they're planted with so tried to move a couple. they seeem to have wilted though. The ground is very dry (like the water butt still!) so I've been watering almost daily.
I've been impressed by the speed with which everything's grown over the weekend actually. My walk to work is now much greener, with all kind of dark greens bursting out the hedges, hundreds of flowers out - including bluebells and violets, the cherry trees in full pink and white blossom and oak, birch and chestnut sporting bright green baby leaves. All very lush. Looking forward to a walk at the weekend.
