An English country garden.
Actually a tale of 4 town plots, but it sounds better.
This will hopefully turn out to be a blog of our home garden, (small) & three allotments, (bigger!).

Tomatoes Progress
13 days since sowing & here's how they're looking. Sowed one seed to a cell & 17 out of 20 have germinated. Quite happy with this as the aim is to get 12 plants for the heated greenhouse.
I'm a retired police officer, so I was able to finish work quite early in life, (52yrs). I'm a very enthusiastic, but very amateur gardener.
Learned the basics from my Grandfather, starting as a young lad nearly half a century ago now.
Still learning and trying to pass on the little bit I know.

Does the tinfoil reflect the sun to stop them leaning in one direction?
Sorry for the delay in replying to you query about the foil, Linzi.
Yes it does stop them being drawn in one direction, but also as you are practically doubling the illumination, you get a far sturdier plant.
