During my Greek break, Joshua has careful instructions abiout watering the ooodles of plants we planted as seeds in pots just before I left. Three types of Chillies, some marrows and two types of tomato are, I hope, starting to grow in my relatively warm office building. With a following wind they will move out, first under cloches, in May and then into already prepared beds up near the fruit bushes in early June. Next up, on my return, potatoes which are now chitting, beetroot and radishes.
