At last the warm weather has prompted the beefsteak tomatoes into rapid growth. I started these early in an electric propagator as you only get 8 seeds and they cost around €6 in Ireland. Luckily they were a present so I didn't buy them. They have been re-potted and are languishing in the polytunnel (hoop house) until they go into the beds inside. It's hard to buy these kind as their thin skins don't lend themselves to transport around the world.

We also made up the hanging baskets today and two window boxes so they will stay inside until the end of May. Got some water-retaining crystals and this will help keep the plants moist in the tropical climate in the tunnel. Pics to follow.
