The first little leaves of the first early potatoes were showing through the soil yesterday morning which was nice to see ! Hopefully by next weekend we'll be able to see all of them poking through ! We took the tomatoes down yesterday morning and planted them in the greenhouse. I've stuck with 2 plants from each type we grew so as not to be overwhelmed by tomatoes and to leave enough room for the chillies, peppers and any lettuce we want to grow in there too. We have Shirley, Gardener's Delight, Golden Cherry and Tigerella. Hopefully they will do OK, we'll pop down after school tomorrow and water them. We will have to check on Henry's tomato plant he rescued and planted outside in his patch (he made a little bottle greenhouse for it so fingers crossed it doesn't die - he'll be upset ! The broccoli and some salad leaves were coming through in the trays as well so that is nice.
