What A Difference A May Makes

The sun is shining and has been for a few days now. Temperatures are warming up at night and tomatoes and peppers have been moved out to the confines of the greenhouse, albeit with one eye on the weather forecasts. I feel happy to whip out my vulnerable crop seed packets now. This weekend brings an extra day - bank holiday - which means whilst Mr VVG gets on with finishing raised bed number two, I can get on with sowing seeds and potting up plants such as tomatoes and peppers into final position pots.
The last week has seen me move other plants and seedlings around. Beetroot, lettuce, peas, broad beans, brassicas, celery are all out and on the allotment now. This is the Gertrude Franck bed, almost fully planted.
