    Dripperty drop little April showers. I'm hoping the rain doesn't last for toooooo long, but this lovely gentle drizzle is happily watering my freshly sown seeds, carrots, radish, parsnip, celeriac, kohl rabi and beetroot which I have freshly sown on the allotment. I am figuring, now the annual weed seeds are germinating, tough veggie seeds should start to grow.

    Good shower here today too. Planted the big garden Saturday corn, peas, and green beans. Should be coming up soon with this rain.

    We have a biting wind and low temperatures today. I could do with a little sunshine right now to help things along in the garden. It sounds as though you're a few weeks ahead of me EJ.

    It sounds like you have things all set to go there, EJ. This is the tough part--the waiting. I have stuff planted, but also a bunch on the window sills. Tomorrow I shall pot some on to their next pot size.

    I cant wait to hear how it will go for you.
