So with everything ready we started sowing seeds in February, and the house became a bit of a nursery.
We decided to grow far more seedlings than we actually needed a) because we had lots of seeds, and b) because of the Covid crisis. With food supplies under pressure we thought that our neighbours might appreciate the opportunity to grow their own, and we were able to donate lots of tomato, chilli and courgettes seedlings.
Of course once these were potted out space (and sunlight) were at a premium:
When the weather got a bit warmer the plants could be left outside in the back garden, but they had to be brought indoors at night to avoid the cold.
This year's tomatoes selection were Radiator Charlie's Mortgage Lifter (an old favourite), the pretty unbeatable, super sweet cherry 'Sungold', Kaleidoscope Jewel, Marmande, Cherola F1, and an old favourite of mine, Radiator Charlie's Mortgage Lifter.
I'll write a report about which were successes, and which weren't, soon.
