      Lovely you are thinking of your dad lolimac :) fingers crossed you will produce a great crop but you are doing him proud anyway I’m sure:)
      Sentiment is such an important element in the garden:)

            Sown some black cherry, I don't think I've tried that one before :scratch: I never have much luck with the black/ purple types but thought I might aswell give them a whirl.

                Yes indeed, I have got rootstock and scions under growlamps. They are about a week or so old. Aiming to do the grafting mid march

                      My tommy seedlings....yellow tumblers and red baby plum from tesco. They’re on the heated mat and also have the lights on them. Wonder what they’ll look like next week when I’m home again! Hopefully not leggy!

                        Suncherry Premium is the most glorious sweet red tomato heaven :wow: :biggrin:.
                        Its sweet and its nearly the same as Sungold so if you like SG you will like Suncherry P , it fruits a little bit earlier than SunGold as well.

                            I bought a couple of bags at Wyevale, they were selling them off for £3 each. The compost looked ok and was mixed with own Compost. Everything appeared to grow ok.
                            I wouldn't pay those prices though.

                                4 big beef seedlings came up today. I think they popped up to shut me up. I kept yapping at them to get on! :)
