Dull for most of the day but humid although it felt cold in the exposed parts of the garden because of very high winds. The wind brought down a large chunk of our plum tree

Amaranth, chickpeas, brassicas, and cress of course - but my favourite is alfalfa. I don't mix them up though, I have a 3 tray sprouter.
