Here you go Glosterwomble.........pretty it aint, and I should have pre-drilled holes for the screws to avoid the wood splitting...........but once it is covered in seed trays, no-one will notice anyhow. (I hope!) And it does the job! ;D
Now glad we keep all the odds n sods of wood in the garage!





PS: bet OH laughs at it when he gets home and tell me my angles are not straight! ;D

I confess I've never pinched out chilli plants, I did try this on some of my aubergines last year but they cropped so late I didn't notice any difference.... :-\

I just wait until I think the chilli looks strong enough to handle the trauma - I think that usually translates into  5 or 6 leaves.

I sowed my Onions and sweet peas in January and since then nothing!

I just can't get enthused this year must be the weather!

As it happens I do most of my sowing towards the end of March so there is still plenty of time for me to get 'the urge!

My soil is too wet at the moment to plant out, so I thought I'd give the four year old something to do and put some shallots in pots and see how they do against the others when they are all planted out.  ;D ;D ;D
MAY THE CORN BE WITH YOU.

sown a row of lettuce and a row of red spinach under clotches in the boarder of the greenhouse, figure that they will be out by the time the toms are ready to go in,

Today I sowed 4x12 cell trays of marigold, 2x6" pots of Radish french breakfast, 4x5" pots of Musselburgh leeks, 2 dozen Little Gem. All of which are in my greenhouse.

Yesterday I transplanted 30 x tomato seedlings, 16 x Primo cabbage seedlings,  10 Arcadia calabrese and 10 x Parthenon calabrese. All of which are in my kitchen.  I just need to stop the tomatoes reaching towards the light.
