I`ve been quite ill for the past few months ( Ulcerative Colitis ) Only now back in the greenhouse pricking out stuff sowed in February. Thankfully they have been watered and have survived. All doing well especially the tomatoes as they seem to have benefited from not being pricked out to soon. As usual I have a LOAD of bulbs sitting in there that should have been planted . No seed potatoes this year as the problems with the New Winsor Frame work continue. Still no seed delivery from Thompson and Morgans though other seed companies like Mr. Fothergills, Chilterns, Moles seem to be sending OK. I just don't understand the problem which is frustrating.

Thompson and Morgans tell me they are "working hard on the systemic and logistical changes required to despatch our products to your location" and "come back in a couple of weeks" ! Suttons wont send either . I have been able to order from Moles seeds and a couple of other sites offering very cheap seeds so all is not lost . links below to the cheap seed sites for any seedaholics like myself. bargainseeds.co.uk/budgetseeds.co.uk/

1st of October and we once again may be able to buy plants and seeds from the mainland. We`ll not really know till we try and order as it depends on companies signing up for the new arrangement's in the Windsor framework ( don't ask me to explain as I can't make head nor tail of it myself) My basket if full on thompson and Morgans ready for the off and keeping my fingers and toes crossed that all goes well.

spent the morning in the greenhouse potting on plants, found loads of slugs hiding in amongst the pots Started painting the inside roof of the gazebo with a better paint, similar colour but not water based which should last longer Night patrol grindle , its the only way. I bought myself a new headlight just for the purpose and its fantastic www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09523GRD3?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

I had a few tomatoes in the GH that looked like they might have blight Sue so i dumped them and repotted what was left . Fingers crossed no sigh of blight on the rest yet.

Repotted a lot of tomato plants and fed them after clearing most of the bedding plants out of the greenhouse . Sowed seeds of wallflowers and calendula, prob a bit as usual.

Well looks like I`ve done it again Grown some plants from seed that look just like the one I posted in 2018 and it took years to get rid of . On the ball this time though as they are still in pots.
