sorry to hear about your greenhouse - how disappointing to have it blown
down like that :eek: We get some pretty fierce winds here at times, being
high up, but our greenhouse is firmly cemented down thank goodness and so
far, touch wood, the gales haven't harmed it.

Sounds like you are well on with the garden Val.
I have a lot of plants ready to plant out. Trouble is it will be another two
weeks at least before I can even think of putting bedding plants out.
I have Tomato plants that really should be potted up in their final pots and
in the greenhouse. They are at the moment on the window sill and are getting
a bit pot bound. I think I may risk it tomorrow although the night
temperatures are still very low.I can always cover with fleece.

I sowed a few SPs in pots yesterday, a bit late, but they're under a
cold frame, and thanks for the wigwam idea! I use that for runner
beans sometimes, but am not bothering this year.
I need some Tomorite for the tomatoes, soon.
There are some trellis's in ALDI tomorrow, so I may go for that, and I
have some plastic netting from years ago, stretched out in the garage
after untangling it.
Still a chill North Easterly wind today, in spite of the sunshine.
