March has been one of the driest on record but it has still been very cold meaning kitchen windowsills and the conservatory have been straining under the weight of various seedlings. Now that we've had a few warm days and more are forecast, all of the trays have been moved to the greenhouse. Still keep an eye out on those night temperature forecasts and be prepared to bring in any tender crops once again however. Today I pricked out these Cederico tomatoes as well as some Harlequin small fruited type. Both of these have been timed to be ready for the later shows such as Malvern and Westminster.
My first sowing from the middle of February was potted on into 3" pots and are now looking like this. This will be the last potting for these plants as I expect to be planting these towards the end of this month. From theseplants I hope to be able to get some ripe fruits for the end of August and early September shows.

What's a Conservatory ?
Is it like an outhouse with a plastic roof ?
Don't understand all this posh Southern stuff.
Mine never even germinated
Looks like I'll be sticking to 'money maker' plants off the local market stall :(
Darren, mine are about the same stage as Simon's and i have some spare. If you're in the area (Aylesbury,Bucks)over the next couple of weeks you could always drop in and pick some up.
Dan I have seen it and you are right it is a shed at back ot house wi a placky roof nowt special.
It also doubles up as accommodation for our butler and maid!
