Certainly dry on the plot at the moment, but luckily soil not cracked & hard like it has been so was able to do the re-sows. I decided not to do direct sows of the toms so set up pots with new compost to start them off. They probably would have been OK but noted some digging in the tunnel, probably mice looking at how small the disturbance is & 2 holes leading under the tunnel cover. They will be disappointed when they try to get in again, went a bit OTT with repellers & boards.
Once again I re-sowed the brassica's but I do have more up now. Popped the pumpkin & squash seeds in, weeded the strawberries & every thing got a water. I deliberately used the water from the trugs over the plots so I can give them a clean out before re-filling. My plan is another early bus down on Monday so I can re-fill them all with the hose, along with a longer general water. Mondays are always good for not having many down early as a lot are back to work.

What a day all of a sudden 21.9°, celebrated with the first mid-afternoon choc ice of the season and later raspberries and ice cream as pudding. Planted the pea patch this afternoon.
