Weather update

Cloudy and cold. Even the sun does austerity. Everyone is feeling fluey and down and meh. The seedlings are mooching along, not really wanting to do very much. And why should they, given they're on the solar equivalent of the minimum wage?

The only ones that must have decided that it was time to cut the crap and get out of the soggy ground were my Lidl tomato seeds "Hildares". I had given up on them, frankly. But now I've counted 8 tiny, unmistakably tomatoey seedlings.

In the foreground: my radicchio seedlings. All good news. Let's keep them clear of Mr Mucus and Friends.
