@carinjo I've also been missing notifications and have checked settings but nothing has changed. I assumed everyone was outside in the sunshine 😎
Our tomatoes, lettuces and cucumbers have all started growing properly now - at last. Beans and peas rubbish this year, really struggling this year. I'm going to try and get more in this week.

Thanks for the advice @Sallyp2 , the pots in growbags working great. I'll be potting up the squashes today.
On allotment ms C planted out the sweetcorn. Weedsupressing fabric and bottles to protect them from birds for now.
Also had a go at some spare barlotti seeds i had. Also under bottles since we will be away when the hopefully germinate.
Leaving any new sowings for when we back, so the bolted radishes and lettuces being left for the bees to enjoy.
