Taking a flyer

I had no choice. My runners were running away - so I have planted them out. Now normally I don't do this for another week or two - but the roots were bursting out of their peat pots.

I also planted out the tomatoes at home. These are up against a south facing brick wall and seem to be ok.

Thing is this current hot spell has caught me by surprise. It is like we have gone from winter straight into summer. I found it hard to motivate myself during April and as a consequence haven't sown much and I haven't given much thought to where I am going to plant things either. I still have some areas that need digging too.

Actually, in the 10 years I have kept an allotment, I can't think of one year that has been "normal" weather wise.
