Starting summer crop in propagator

Today was chilly, damp, windy weather. I started sowing summer crops such as tomato (St Pierre), sweet pepper (Jumbo) and Okra (clemsons spineless). They were sown in modules and put in the propagator. How exciting!

I also made trench for the peas in the marquee, burying spinach, kitchen waste and card board beneath. Will hopefully transplant the seedlings before going to London in a week's time.

The Salad looked even more fresh and nice in cold. I have begun to be annoyed by slug nibbles since we started selling them. After picking slugs at night, I decided to resort slug pellets. These are ferric phosphate which will break down to iron and phosphate nutrients in the soil.
