We're making good progress with the allotment in spite of the continuing cold weather - windowsill gardening is the key while we wait for the soil to warm up! So far we've got seedlings of at least six different types of tomato; three sorts of pepper (including seed from Slovakia for delicious white salad peppers; aubergines; courgettes; squashes and pumpkins (with a special exotic from South Africa, Flat White Boer]; some cabbages and salad; and potatoes chitting nicely (Pink Pir Apple, Nicola, Charlotte). We're planning a plant swop at the end of May, probably outside the Forum - so all you green-fingered Transitioners, do please sow a few extra seeds now to swop on the day!
