The sweet pepper plants are starting to shoot as well!
This blog was originally about my attempt to live for a whole year, from August 2007 to August 2008, eating only food that had been produced in Britain. My aims in this were to see if it was actually possible and to try to promote British food. Well, I survived the year without too much difficulty! So I have decided to continue the blog, this time looking at all that can be produced in Britain and how British ingredients can be used to create some fantastic dishes.

Plants
The tomato plants I've started growing are continuing to do really well:
They will soon be ready to be transplanted into individual pots. The time to do this is when they get their second set of leaves. The first leaves to form will have smooth edges, as you can see in the picture. The second set and all subsequent sets, will have jagged edges, so it's quite easy to tell when they are ready. You can just see in the picture that the new leaves are starting to form, but it'll be a day or two yet.
The sweet pepper plants are starting to shoot as well!
I shall leave the cling film on for a little while yet, just while one or two more shoots appear.
