On the Friday. I was able to sow some seeds in my new cold frame on the allotment and in the mini greenhouses I have at home in the back garden.
I have tomatoes and hot chili pepper seeds growing in the mini greenhouse with some sweet corn seeds.
All of these seeds are the remains of packets of seed that I had left over from last year, I have my fingers crossed that I will have some success with them this year as well.
On the allotment I planted some leftover courgette and cucumber seeds and placed them in the new cold frame, hopefully we will now have a prolonged period of sunshine to help the growth. We have had no rain of any value for at least a month, just this prolonged freezing spell, so I have actually had to get the watering can out already.

On Saturday the weather made a dramatic turn for the better and the sun was shining wonderfully. I headed straight for the allotment where to my great satisfaction I was able to take these brilliant photographs of a cock pheasant that was wandering around. I have seen this family of pheasants on a number of occasions, but I have never been close enough to get a good shot before.
I then sowed some radishes, lettuce, beet-root and spring onions in rows straight into the ground. I also have carrots and parsnips sown and covered with fleece in my large tubs. Everything is moving along nicely now and I will just have to keep on top of the weeds and keep it all watered.
