Went to a lovely garden centre this morning (Mr D's archery was cancelled because it was too cold). Have now got a new substantial stake for one of the apple trees which got a bit blown about in the autumn, some seed potatoes, and Mr D got a pixie mask in the post-Christmas sale. We also had a cup of tea and some scrumptious coffee and walnut cake in the cafe, which led to us trying out our best Mary Berry impersonations.

At last, first planting of the year - peppers, chillies and very early tomatoes, all currently in the propagator. All of these will be grown on in the greenhouse. Hoping to get potatoes in planter very soon, which will also be brought on in the greenhouse.

Sowed a few garlic chive seeds, and some Primo cabbages to bring on in modules.

My potatoes went in on Friday at the allotment; it is my tradition each year to plant them on my birthday ... don't know why. I was very pleased with the compost heap I turned out for them (I suppose I must be middle aged now if that's what makes me happy !)

I have just covered my first lot of potato shoots. They have grown really well, just hope I get a nice crop.
