may

Well, having had 2 beautiful weeks in April, the weather turned chill again, to the point of having hail and snow. My 2 biggest tomatoes were getting too big for their pots so I planted them out anyway.
They seem to be doing alright, I will put the rest, another 4, out next week. I also planted out a courgette I bought, that seems to be surviving too.  Potatoes are starting to sprout so if there were another frost it would be very sad.
I had an operation on my hand at the beginning of this month so I had to do as much as I could before hand and now I can only do light work. Mostly the work that needs doing now is clearing and maintenance, like weeding.
I have had my first lettuce from the garden and the spring onions have germinated. I am watching the fruit carefully, I am going to be overwhelmed with raspberries again and I think this will be a good year for cherries
