The challenge is on.

Yes the childrens giant sunflower competition has now begun! Last year they were a great success and I wouldn't have been suprised to hear they could be seen in space. Lets hope we have equal success this season.
It was the first time this year we have enjoyed being in the garden without getting buffeted by the wind and the sun was shining, so it was the perfect time to check what else needed sowing.
The next lot of peas are now done, some lettuce and brussel sprouts. Kohl rabi and celery were also done, a first for me so I am very excited to see how they do.
As the cauliflowers where looking a little large for their pots it seemed like a good time to re-pot those as well as the sweet peppers, dahlia's and parsley that are currently living on the kitchen window ledge.
As it is warming up so nicely I have moved the tray of onion, beetroot and Cauliflower seedlings out of the blowaway to start hardening them off ready for the plot. It has also made some much needed space in the blowaway for the very busy April sowing schedule. Phew, things are really starting to get busy around here, I love it!
