Tomato “Sweet Million” 
Gherkin, which I don’t think I’ve grown before but giving it a try because my neighbours over the road gave me some homemade pickle from theirs last summer which was delicious :-)
Cucamelon, which haven’t appeared yet but I’ve grown them in the past and they are quite unique and delicious …

Spent about an hour this morning in the greenhouse sorting out compost, pots, trays and trying to decide what I need to make everything more manageable … a work in progress! Too cold to stay outside for any length of time, a chilly east wind  :-(

MrD was visiting his brother and helping to clear his brother’s garden. This afternoon MrD cut the grass and the clippings have been spread under the bird feeders, we did this last year and it helped to keep the garden cleaner and probably nicer for the birds too - the soil benefitted from the organic matter mulching it.

Made the Airfryer Apple cake - https://youtu.be/WinlzKE6Oms?si=15Q1GkTr7Ay7k5vZ - and added some of last autumn’s frozen wild blackberries …

Tonight’s film was “The Old Oak”, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt19883634/
