Worst Spring ever!

The Spring here has been an unmitigated disaster. Nobody around here has onions or early spuds planted. I myself have a greenhouse bulging with seedlings of warious types, but nothing planted out yet. I never saw a year like it. Normally there is some few days of fine weather, but not this year. I think it was this day twelve months ago the first Swallow arrived. If they've any sense, they'll stay put this year!

Same here Sean, plenty of seedlings in trays. Desperate to get onion sets in. They are forecasting a heatwave by the end of the month. One extreme to the other

As the rest of us, but things are now moving at last. Like you Sean,we have seedlings everywhere most will need to be pricked out soon. My Toms are now still in their pots but some are in the poly. Just watching them for signs of stress. Looks ok at the moment. I checked the raised bed yesterday with the view of planting Onions but it is still too claggy. Same for the Main crop spuds but the bed looks better and I will be planting there soon. Thank the Gods for poly tunnels. Mine look well thanks to being the only areas I could garden during this gloomy wet winter/spring. We have early peas in flower, Onions and Garlic look very good. Early spuds are up and will need earthing up soon. Spring Cabbage, lettuce, Scallions are well underway. So apart from a sad looking Peach tree, there are some positives around the plot. Goodluck lads and chin up.

We got some onion sets down a couple of weeks ago and some carrots in the polytunnel everything else is still in pots - although this morning I transplanted some turnips to the ground ...I hate the bloody things but they’re for the pigs, it will be typical if they’re the only things that grown! I thought my tomatoes were doing ok until I saw the ones at the garden center
But at least we have eggs ...lots and lots of eggs!
