| Rhubarb showed growth. |
There was some relief that back in UK despite an e-mail warning of a 'break-in' and high winds all was well on Plot 202.

As well as the weeds growing there was evidence of blossom on my various fruit trees - having started peas and other seeds in plant pots in the garden I transferred 'Broad beans' to grow in the plot.

Coir which I learnt when I studied Horticulture is more environmentally friendly than 'Peat' compost and can be transported dry to reduce transport costs and impact.
I have also planted outside a mixture of other Tomatoes and Chilli
