Squash/pumpkin seedlings are coming up in the trays (4 varieties sweet dumpling, butternut, rouge and jacko lanterns)

Have seperated out the tomato seedlings into 3 per pot to mature a little before going outside.

Gerkins, aubergine seedlings have just gone in a tray and some cheyene chilis in another.

Once the fruitcanes are planted it'll give me back my home troughs for planting some herbs in, I like to keep them at home instead of having herbs a couple of miles away that way I can use them as I cook.. Will probably stick to corriander, basil, parley, tarragon, dill though I will also plant some rosemary and thyme elsewhere in the garden at home.

When we took over the plot we found two rhubarbs at the top end just on the edge of the plot (we think they were cast offs after someone dug them up. We transplanted them in a better place and they are coming up beautifully with some nice red bulbous growths

The kiwi has suddenly come to life in my mother-in-laws greenhouse so that will soon be ready to plant up the allotment

.......and where is this Garden of Eden exactly??

Just bought 6 more strawberry plants from Lidl for £2.99 - there are 4 varieties and they look very healthy indeed. That'll take us up to almost 20 plants for the summer... Yummy!
