Just call me Miss Marple ;D. When did you sow the seeds Shirl, I remember it was early, but not when.

I sowed all the tomatoes on 6th Feb. I sow them in the window sill greenhouses on the window sills above the radiators.

That's fantastic Shirl!  We have a 'wigloo' living willow structure planted about four years ago;  the dry weather doesn't seem to have been a problem and in fact, it seems even more lush this year.   
Its also given me some ideas - we have a weeping willow on our wildlife area and this neds to be cut back so will attempt to root some of the branches to make something similar
