micro-leaves and Tigarella toms

The tigarella tomato seeds missing from the Funky Veg kit blogged here arrived yesterday and true to their word sent us 2 packets. I sowed 4 seeds in a pot. All the other tomatoes sown on 25th Feb are up and growing away nicely. As a special birthday treat we went to the Brookes restaurant in Oxford today. The food was amazing and each course was adorned with micro-leaves (dill on our salmon starter, beetroot on the chicken main, and lemon verbena/mint on the pud). This has inspired me to grow some on the windowsill at home using up old out-of-date seed:
I have sown beetroot, rocket and cress (micro-leaves in their own right!). Hopefully they will be ready for harvesting in the next couple of weeks.
