Mange Tout, Rodney, Mange Tout....

....as Del Boy would say. Down on the plot today there was a hive of activity. When we asked Lionel if our peas should be going out yet he said he'd come and have a look. He did and exclaimed Good Lord, yes they definitely need to go out'. I guess it was because they were about to cling onto the next shelf of the greenhouse. So, as we already had our pea netting up and ready, out they went, under fleece of course. Our tomatoes needed potting on so we have done those. Our Lollo Rosso and Cos lettuces were ready to plant out under cloches, half a row of each. Sweet peas went out too to climb over the new trellis we have put up for the Tayberry. Phew! We then went on to re sow a tray of French climbing beans as there was nothing in the tray. It makes me wonder if I really had sown any. We also sowed cucumbers and courgettes but we still have the parsnips and swedes to do. The corn is coming on though, it's growing in front of our eyes. Ooohh, we do hope that this year will be better than last even if we do have to water ourselves instead of waiting for a shower. It was a good feeling to get really started again and to see our little seedlings or in the case of the peas, bigger ones, doing good.
