Yesterday was the last day of winter... Yesterday I planted out a tomato seedling and my pumpkin seeds. Risky you say? Probably, but I did take some risk mitigation measures and look forward to seeing if they pay off!
I've planted my pumpkin seeds in a repurposed dog kennel (that I scavenged from the side of the road) with a piece of perspex over the top. I put 2 warty Galeux D' Eysines pumpkin seeds in one half and 2 Musquée de Provence seeds in the other half. These pumpkins are supposed to be so delicious they were traditionally eaten raw- can't wait to give that a go!

The tomato (a Green Grape seedling) is tucked up under some horticultural fleece and is next to a bottle full of water. I hope the water will provide thermal mass over the cold nights.
