Clara's Journal

Very good Clare. What some people throw out others make good use of. 

Great idea, haven't sown any seeds yet

Mcdonald I only sowed this little lot and after seeing it up made me sow a few more, not going mad this year as it was a job to keep all potted on and looked after.

I agree it takes loads of time potting on and transplanting, sometimes we take on more than we can handle.

;-))

I do the same, too. Kept all the plastic cups, yogurt tubs, plastic trays (that supermarket vegetables come in) and anything that looks like it can hold compost as my seed 'tray' and propagator.

Clare, you seem to have three little propagators:)

Brilliant idea Clare hope they produce loads of tomatoes.

They make a excellent propagator

I only sowed 2 seeds and am so happy now I have sown some more seeds today.

Well done.

Excellent news. So how are you going to celebrate?    :)I hope Greg wasn't being sarcastic.

Sow more Jacinta as I did today,    what do you think was Gregs comment sarcastic ???

Is Greg not taking you out for a nice slap up meal, then?:)

Sounds like you are going to have plenty of tomatoes to keep you all going, with more being sown today too.

I am not sowing as many as last year as I had for every one one the road including all my family which is a large one.

Great:)))

I always use sweet jars - you know the plastic ones.  My preferred ones are the ones with screw lids on which are not that easy to find these days.   I put them on a plank of wood on a double radiator for bottom heat.  My cosmos  and morning glory germinated by this method.  I put the pots inside the jars.   Lovely Clara to get rapid germination.
