Default just wanted to share...

My carrots are coming up, tiny little things!
My toms are getting second set of leaves and stems thickening up.
My lettuce in cold frame and outside in troughs are also appearing.
Some of my onions have got little green shoots coming too.
Raspberries got new shoots appearing.

So I must be doing something right!

I have used the vaseline / salt trick round the lettuce pots and coffee grinds round the beds that we have been saving for weeks!

Great feeling Janeyo. And it never goes away. It's the same thrill every year. Enjoy.
