If I’m not mistaken, the weather forecast suggests that Sunday might actually feel like a summers day which would be a welcome change..  I don’t mind the rain or the cold, but at this time of year I love eating out and its so much easier to entice everyone outside when the weather is dry and warm.  It’ll be chance to try out our new pot barbeque too which has a clever lid you can plant up for salad or herbs.  It’s a cooking and growing combination I rather like, especially if you’re short of space.

My lettuce has germinated well this year so we have plenty for the next few weeks, but I must remember to keep sowing otherwise it will come to an abrupt end in September.  I like to eke out summer salad for as long as possible otherwise it can seem like a long winter, especially if the summer comes and goes in May.
