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

What on earth does one do with 60 chilli plants :unsure: . 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.
 
Not seeds I know, but our Rhododendron has just flowered in the Garden.

No idea why there are two photo's, is it so you can look for the box caterpillar that plagued our Privet tree last year?
