Yesterday morning i received a mysterious parcel in the mornings post. Turned out to be some more onion sets (red & white) and some Rhubarb from BIL. Rhubarb was looking a bit worse for ware so thought i'd better plant it ASAP. I chose a nice sunny spot near the fence. Not sure i have had rhubarb since i had school dinners - not the most pleasent of exeriences, but i am confident that as with most things "home grown" it will be far superior to anything i've tasted previously ;o)

I also made second sowings of spring onions, rocket, lettuce and radishes (Cherry Belle this time) and thinned out the rocket seedlings. While i was busy dd had lots of fun squirting me with the hose, how i laughed!

I am all of a dither as to what to do next. The tomatoes are ready for transplanting but i need to buy some more pots. The courgettes are huge but there is no point hardening them off yet, (we have had frost 2 nights in a row - yikes!) The calabrese is probably ready for planting out, must check my books and i keep forgetting to plant my leaf beet! Must get more organised.

Oh and we finally have some delphinium seeds come through, had just about given up hope. The Sweet Peas are looking good too.
