Almost mid-May but still frost alerts

It's a strange kind of weather at the moment - often fine in the day but with a cold wind. We've also had some frost warnings for the coming week so I've earthed up the potatoes and placed fleece on the earlies which have grown so much that they're impossible to earth up totally now. I don't think they should come to any harm though.

Seedlings which had been hardening off at the bottom of the garden ready to plant out either in the garden or in the allotment will now have to be held back a bit. I'll put most of them back in the greenhouse at night for the next 3 nights and will have to consider a bit of heating too for the more tender ones such as peppers, tomatoes, squash and courgettes.

With any luck, from next weekend it will be possible to get more things planted out and we can start enjoying a more spring-like Spring!
