First seeds of 2024

I just can’t believe up here in north Notts where it seems to have been a very wet cold winter that things are so advanced.
I’ve never known the Rhubarb this lush this early, it’ll be crumble time any day soon

Things are so advanced? Some things seem to be, but primroses and daffodils here are now in flower - they often start in Decenber.

Hopefully nighttime temps will improve and my 60 chilli's can go in greenhouse

What on earth does one do with 60 chilli plants . 4 plants - 2 Aleppo and two Apache will easily supply enough for our household of 3 adults. In fact , I still have some chillies saved in the freezer from last year.

This year I've experimented with trying to grow one of the Aleppo plants as a perennial, by overwintering it in the conservatory It has lost all its leaves, but new growth is starting to come from the old leaf nodes. It is however , no where near as advanced as your seedlings.

Due to ill health I have only just seeded my tomatoes, leeks and cucumbers, fingers crossed I get something by the end of the season.

Wettest February since records began. Second warmest, but it didn't feel like it.
Prepare for heat wave and water shortages!
Just ordered raspberry canes from Suttons, cut price as it's a bit late. Worth having a look at what's for sale end of planting season.

Great..........love it! The wife made some jam from our surplus last year, but it might be worth trying a sweet chilli sauce this year, as well.
