Morning all
Work has got in the way for the last couple of weeks (and the puppy!) but managed to get leeks, dill, carrots, peas, beetroot, lettuce, broccoli and radish germinated over hotbed in last couple of weeks (planted early December) even though the daytime temps were around zero! Just waiting for fresh manure to build another hotbed as I think my last batch was slightly too old but still about 3 or 4 degrees warmer than the soil in another raised bed! Ive become a bit of a nerd with this (see graph!). Went to Wilko to get compost (I know, but we are in lockdown!) - non essential item apparently
as my seed potatoes have arrived and just getting the sacks ready to fill. B&Q it is then. Hopefully I can get the 2nd bed done in next couple of weeks whilst theyre chitting ready to put on top of the new bed 
. Have a great weekend.
Cheers
