With the inclement weather of late and the need for space on my benches, I have been hardening off my early sown peas, broad beans, beetroot and sweet peas. The term "harden off" means to get those tender swaddled seedlings used to being thrown from cosy greenhouse (unheated) to not so cosy open air at the allotment. So for a few days I started popping them outside and over a few nights too I have had them out...which means they are ready to be planted before fruit week runs out! Tomorrow is the plan for the broad beans and peas. The beetroot will have to wait until root week, next week.
Things are on the move!
