And (although I haven't sown them yet), with my very sandy soil and rabbit and pigeon problem, I'm better sowing french and runner beans and sweetcorn indoors (though not in the heated propagator). These are all tender or half-hardy and even if they germinate (which is doubtful in the first three and the first two would grow very slowly)) they're at risk from a late frost. I've often had well-grown plants nipped by frost in late April and am very cautious about keeping them protected if we have a cold snap - early morning sun on chilled plants is very damaging. Tomato plants are reasonably tough and I rarely have problems there.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-55761810677961732202009-03-25T06:38:00.000+00:002009-03-25T06:38:00.000+00:00I haven't bothered with a propagator (no power in ...I haven't bothered with a propagator (no power in my greenhouse) - the ambient temperature there seems sufficient, as all my seeds have sprouted so far.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403853324345062446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-1243348204175051672009-03-24T21:52:00.000+00:002009-03-24T21:52:00.000+00:00Read yesterday's post, dear heart.The children are...Read yesterday's post, dear heart.<BR/><BR/>The children are all right. I bought Princess Cakes (which are what Mr Kipling calls angel cake or something) for them to cheer Daddy up, which goes down rather well with Squiffany. Pink icing, you see.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-45963135685918295102009-03-24T21:44:00.000+00:002009-03-24T21:44:00.000+00:00Good god, whatever is the matter with him?
