Growing ....

Well I finally planted some tomato seeds a few days ago which are sprouting nicely. I put in peppers (capsicum) too , but they will take longer to come through if at all.Tomatoes are relatively easy to get going even if you`re a non committed gardener like me!The peppers are a little more difficult, the last time I tried I cobbled together a cloche from an old clothes airer and plastic sheeting from poundland. It worked but they were quite small. This year I have one of those mini greenhouse shelving unit things , we`ll see how effective that is?

Lots of birds in the garden this week, well probably always but I`ve noticed them more lately. Unfortunately I`m still fighting a losing battle with the bloody pigeons!!! No amount of netting puts them off!
