I’ve made good progress with the report I’m writing so I ventured down to the greenhouse. I’ve planted 5 each of 3 types of tomatoes and some outdoor cucumbers. They are in a heated propagator but I have more seed in case of disaster at some point. I have courgette, beans and squash for a bit later in the month. It’s nice to get started again though the greenhouse needs a really good clear out. It’s a bit overcrowded with over wintering geraniums at the moment- I’ll have to see when they can go out so I can see the rest of the mess!
Weather: chilly but lovely spring day
Covid: cases continuing to fall and another 435,000 people vaccinated. I’ve got round to looking up how they account for false positives with close to a million tests conducted per day. They seem to think that false positives and false negatives balance each other out. I feel like that must change as the number of cases decreases - the number of false positives will stay the same and false negatives will drop. Still I’m sure there are some big brains loving doing the maths....
Good thing: blossom and daffodils
Sarah Raven, how posh! Lovely snapshot of your activity for the day!
I always start with very high intentions and expectations and inevitably lose interest and become neglectful. Think maybe I will just grow sunflowers or rocket this year!
@lucycameron I discovered that the trick is to have them on the patio otherwise I can’t be bothered! I won’t have room for all these it just seems like a good idea at this time of year!
How wonderful to get a jump start on your spring planting. A greenhouse would be the first thing I'd have if space permitted...which it doesn't with an urban townhouse. That greenhouse mug is so perfect! Happy planting!
I would get lost in the weeds of all the Covid numbers/percentages/projections. Glad there are mathematicians hard at work on numbers and I can just look at the bottom line...which seems to be trending in a positive direction.
