Last night I managed to get out and give all my plants in containers an organic granular feed. It rained heavily overnight and has been drizzling on and off all day so apart from going out to take some photos I confined my gardening to indoors.
Edibles
This is one of the over-wintered Chillies - Thai Hot - I mentioned yesterday. It's getting on for 60cm across and is taking over! I may have to move it into the dining room. I pricked out 18 Tomato plants - six each of Micro, Tumbling Tom and Whippersnapper. This is far more than I need so I'll be giving some away. I sowed seeds of Sweet Basil, Greek Basil, Oriental mixed salad leaves and Radish Scarlet Globe. The latter two went in the greenhouse but even so my windowsill is now full.
Ornamentals
I potted on two Aquilegeia William Guinness and Fuchsia Ant & Dec into 13cm pots. I've still got lots of half hardy seeds to sow but they are going to have to wait until I can make some room on the kitchen windowsill. The hardy seeds will be sown later this month - some direct and some in individual pots. More about this later.

Love your plant stand
Your chilli plant is doing really well.
I always grow more plants than I actually need but someone at hubby's work gratefully takes any surplus off my hands. I prefer to grow my own from seed, I think that's half the fun.
Thanks Hosta.
Hi Jo. I totally agree that growing your own from seed is half the fun and if you save your own seed (which I do where I can) I firmly believe you get stronger plans well suited to your conditions. I always prick out more plants than I need in case of loses. In reality this rarely happens but I can always find someone to give them new homes.

The rain has been good for the ground but not for gardeners.
By the way my potatoes have started to appear! xx
Hi Flighty
It's been dry here today if somewhat overcast. Glad your spuds have made an appearance. I'm just about to write up my antics of the day.
