I received a very exciting envelope today: four varieties of micro-dwarf tomatoes from TMTT!
I have some cress and pea-shoots growing (and have stuffed some shop-bought spring onions in a jar of compost to see if they do better than prior attempts to keep them in water that have always resulted in smelly slimy onions), but tomatoes feel like proper gardening! I am so excited and so grateful to the lovely TMTT
I have a specialty study day tomorrow, which in modern times has to be done online from my room. So in between sessions, I am going to try and construct my knocked-together propagator. I have two designs in my mind - one involves a mini hot water bottle (with hot but not boiling water) in a tin foil lined cardboard box, and the other involves a large metal tin (from powdered milk) sealed with a glass jar with warm water inside. As long as I don't use water that's very hot, I think they will work quite well.

Formerly self-contained, but expanding my gardening horizons beyond pots!
