Hello, Jo.

Happy May to you and yours.

Hi, happy May to you.

I'm very happy it's May, aren't you?

Best month of the year because it's all about flowers and plants and gardens and hope and joy and all the good stuff, all the good stuff.

It's almost officially the beginning of summer, isn't it?

I mean, I know it's spring really, but, you know, with climate change and everything, it's sort

of become summer for many of us i know it's sort of you know but the garden has really come to life and everyone's thinking about chelsea flower show and other flower shows that are happening and yeah it is quite an exciting month i finally planted my father gills my tomato seeds and my cosmos i put them in these i got these father gills little plug things that you buy in a little box

And I've got photos so I can show you.

And you basically fill them with water and then you drop the seeds into these tiny little holes.

You put a little plastic lid on and then they start growing.

And then when you're ready to transfer them, you plant them with these little plugs.

So it makes it quite easy.

That's a good idea.

They're finally in.

Okay, you'll be two days ahead of me.

Not that I'm competitive or anything, but you know, we'll see who gets the biggest blooms at the end of all this.

Who gets the most tomatoes?

We can have our own little village show.

I love that.
