The Greenhouse is Filling Up

Have been busy since my last post,we fetched a dozon bags of manure from some stables
and spread over the soon to be potatoe patch. I have dug up the last of the sprouts and kale, just the PSB there now. potatoes are chitting well but think I will wait a couple more weeks or so Good Friday is the traditional time but it is really early this year. The frogs have been busy,took this from the window
frog wooing
they are quiet now but the pond is full of spawn!!!Have tried prechitting parsnips this year and putting them into root-trainers. these are just about to be put into R/T with small tweezers
parsnip seed
Sowing at the moment Leek prizetaker and mussleburgh. Tomatoe beefsteak and golden sunrise, Tigerella came up well and have been thinned. Only Cepa onions took from thelast sowing of onions, all were old seed so not surprised. the poppies, V bonariensis,petunia,wild flowers and godetia are all doing well so I am fast running out of space in my 8'by6' greenhouse
