Tomato Germination.
3/3 have germinated today. [1b]
Tomatoes all being kept indoors after sowing; all other trials are being kept in the unheated but light garage.
Initial thought: 2/3 are over an inch tall already - quite leggy.
7 days to germinate

Oh yeah, and I think I may have found myself a Ferguson potato planter - the one where two assistants (preferably willing but if they're not, I don't care) sit on the tractor mounted machine and drop a seed tattie down the spout every time the bell rings. Hopefully I will get it in the near future - will save me days and days of earthing up

Well, this week has been really good for me so far. Monday I had a good clear out of rubbish and caught up on paperwork so my year end accounts are easy to finalise. Tuesday I got pig slurry spread on half my field and rthen ploughed in almost straight away, and today was just so good I am still smiling - got the rest of the field clarted in pig slurry and ploughed and also finally finally finally got my tunnel re-covered. The wind did pick up at one point just after 2 this afternoon but thankfully...
