How many tomatoes?

Yesterday I did some potting up of the seedlings. The tiny greenhouse (incident tent!) needs more shelves, so I improvised. As our house was left furnished, we ended up filling the gite barn with everything we didn't want. I had a rummage around and found an old laundry basket the perfect height for a little table. A cupboard door became the top and I can put all my little pots inside when I've finished planting out the seeds.

 In total, I potted up 47 tomato plants!  I'm toying with the idea of selling some with an honesty box!
 The beans are coming along, despite being planted late, I have about four varieties and 20 plants in total.
 These are the woad babies. They've been the easiest of the dye plants to grow and they're nice and healthy too :D

Somehow, during everything I was doing yesterday, I hurt my right shoulder! Today will be a sewing day, I think!

  1. Wow, your seedlings are going gang busters. Take care of that shoulder. Alternate with an ice pack and then heat. it will help get it back to normal. I know because I have a bad shoulder from a rotator cuff tear back in 1992. My physical therapist always said ice and heat are the best healers.
