Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I've just been out and bought cabbage, calabrese 🥦, purple sprouting broccoli, leeks and carrot 🥕 plants, to give me a bout of a leg up early in the season. They'll sit under the cloche for a few days to finish hardening off, and to give me time to dig over and de slug the veg bed.
I've also got tomato 🍅, squash, courgette French bean and pea seeds to start off. Plus whatever veg seeds I find in the shed!

And sweet peas because we need something beautiful, as well as edibles.

Planning to order a greenhouse later. 😊

One of the things that might come out of all this is people growing food, as well having an eye out for others, fingers crossed.

In these times, perhaps it would be prudent for allotment holders and farmers to review the security of their crops and livestock, although how one would do this I can't imagine.

Broad beans beginning to germinate. I don't have a greenhouse so they are on a windowsill where it is unlikely the mice will get them.

My tomatoes and cucumber sowed last weekend have already germinated.

You’ve got to love a seed, they’re amazing.

My fruit list

Blackcurrants, five varieties
Redcurrants, maybe two
Whitecurrants
Gooseberries, green, yellow and red, four or five
Raspberries, red, yellow and semi-wild
Strawberries, four plus alpines
Blueberries, two
Boysenberries (every year, a disappointment)
Jostaberry (just bought)
Apple (three varieties on a family tree)
Cherries, two
Pear
Gage
Rhubarb
Grapes, two
Kiwi fruit
Fig
Gojiberry
Tayberries, thornless, and not
Bramble
Loganberry

I'd meant to be out doing (although a week past a debiking, I'm still a bit limited) but it's pretty cold, and not sunny so far. I could always wrap up and get snipping on the rose arch.
