I seem to have this weird condition whereby in my mind the garden and my pots are about 50 times bigger and more numerous than they really are. Is it treatable by modern drugs, I wonder?

As always, I am wondering exactly where I am going to put the dozens of plants that are currently growing in 3 inch pots in the greenhouse and around the garden.

I am going to have to chuck a few brassicas on the compost as there is just nowhere to put them. I've got deja vu.

Anyway, on the positive side things are growing pretty well. The early (February sown) lettuce, cabbages and cauliflowers are looking lush and the alpine strawberries sown from seed are perfect little plants. I've already given away a dozen but there are still a dozen left with no definite home.

The first planted potatoes - Foremost and International Kidney - are going great guns in custom made "sacks". The haulms are incredibly green and strong without being too big, so I have great hopes for an early June crop.

Meanwhile - and why won't this be a surprise - there are still three trays with seed tubers on the windowsill... awaiting a home
