No dig diary, 24th February 2024

Sowing day again! Not that much this weekend though: calabrese, red cabbage, more antirrhinums and more ammi majus. The rain has reached quite depressing levels here. I think we’ve had at least double the long-term average rainfall for February, even with most of a week left to go. Today however, it was bright and sunny, if a little cold, or rather, more like the temperature February ought to be. In the greenhouse it was so warm that I had to take off my coat. Hopefully that’s a good sign for the plants as temperatures are forecast to be close to freezing this evening. I was looking at pepper seedlings in the propagator and thinking that they need to be moved out, but I think for the next couple of days they can stay where it’s warm. It’s supposed to bucket down tomorrow according to the forecast, too. There’s no getting away from it 🙁

Elsewhere in the garden the strawberries seem to be settling in well and the new raspberry canes that I planted in December look to be producing shoots. Not all of them yet, but it’s early days yet.
