We need the rain, but I'd rather it wasn't so cool. I don't think it safe to be sowing my April seeds just yet, despite today's sunshine.
I did go off to B&Q to get some tomato plants. The new offices don't have window ledges for me to grow tomatoes from seed as I have done for the last 2 years. Although I don't put the plants out till May, I wanted to get them early as the plants are not looked after properly in the shops. Even this early in April, some of the trays of tomato plants were looking decidedly sickly.
I got one heritage variety Black cherry for indoor growing "sweet, juicy flavour". Then 2 Heritage Golden Nugget "balanced acid/sweet flavour", 2 mini Italian plum "exceptional flavour" and 4 x Gardener's delight "flavourful. I also got one outdoor cucumber and 6 Darselect strawberry plants along with a glazed planter.
I'll pot up the outdoor tomatoes into slightly bigger pots this weekend and, if the weather isn't too bad, get the strawberries into the planter.
