I did a mammoth potting-on session with all the plant pots I bought today. Worryingly, I have now run out of plant pots again and I haven't potted everything on yet! However, all my tomatoes, tomatillos, zinnias (first sowing), watermelons, and cucumbers (at least the ones sown so far) are now potted on. I sat outside to do it, and it was lovely when the sun was out but icy cold every time it went in - there was even a flurry of snow at one point, which I did not enjoy!
I also planted a few things into my first (rather messy and unimpressive looking) bed: radishes (some of which I've left in module trays for too long so will probably only be good for flowers and pods) and three kinds of mustard (also sown a bit early and therefore kept inside too long). Let's see how many of them survive the slugs!
I sowed a few things that needed to be started indoors: sunflowers, sparkling fountain grass, Consolidia misty lavender, thyme, and pansies. I was going to sow some things into modules outside too (including turnips and beetroot) but I decided it was too cold and I'll aim to do it tomorrow instead!
All in all, a fairly productive day. I've used half of my compost though and have only made two small beds (plus lots of pots). Definitely going to need a whole lot more!!!
