Ok so rain is giid for the garden but this is all too much! I haven’t been able to get out into the garden for several weeks now and my lawn is like a swamp.

After a very mild couple of weeks, it’s turned cooler and I’ve made sure my early spuds (Red Duke of York) are earthed up in case of a frost. Have planted out my main crop this week (Pink Fir Apple).

Thought I’d take advantage of the mild weather and re-spray my fence panels so that they’re ready before I start getting out in the garden and planting veg in the spring. As you can see from the before and after photo, it was worth doing.

Sunny 15°C / 59°FSurprised to see a few chilli seeds sprouting already in the propagator as germination usually takes between 2 and 5 weeks and I only planted them out a week ago! This is a good sign as non of my chilli plants germinated last year for some reason.
