I've got cabbages in the greenhouse, getting 3rd sets of leaves, lettuce and salad leaves getting first sets. Toms with 3rd sets of leaves on the windowsills in the house, aubergine and chilli yet to show through, onion seeds in cold frame that have yet to poke through, broadies (and sweet peas)in the coldframe in loo rolls just poking through, caulis in coldframe getting 2nd set of leaves. And rocket just poking it's head out.
Tomorrow I hope to sow some beetroot, and raddish in the coldframe too.

I'll be honest ('cos I'm an impatient gardener lol). I have currently:-
Indoors - leeks, toms (5 varieties), onions, aubergine, french lavender, chilli - anaheim, basil (5 varieties), cauliflower, sprouts, coriander (leaf) plus lots of basil from cuttings.
In greenhouse - broad beans (2 varieties), lettuce (2 varieties)
I always get shot down in flames (well not quite) re - basil whenever I post on here, but you can grow it all year round and have a constant supply!
Off to root in seed box to see what else I can sow

Shame I can't really sow anything to keep in the house - the cats would eat it I'm sure! I may have a bit of a play tomorrow and put a few seeds in the (very) small propagator I've got - at least then I'll feel like I've made a start.

If 1 takes into account the extra lighting costs etc it's not worth it... but keeps me outa trouble. The peas are an experiment as I had very little success last year with them....
edit:
Hey! I'm no longer a sprout! can now pass on the sprout to Lynda!Last edited by RedThorn; 31-01-2009, 08:53 PM.Never test the depth of the water with both feet

Actually I'm quite chuffed this morning. Hadn't been down to the lottie for ages and was quite worried what it would be looking like. Nipped down first thing, despite the cold wind, and everything is looking fine . No weeds at all. I pulled up some over-done leeks and that was it.
I can now settle down to planting my seeds knowing that everything is OK at the lottie. Ive also got a load of mushroom compost arriving this week. Hope I have as much success with my veg as I did with my back garden last year using the compost.

Just some onions.
Will wait till February's got the shine off it before I consider anything else. Probably most things will be sown March, April or, for the tender crops, even May.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

Pricked out a few tomato seedlings that I am using as my control for the Harrington & Jessup composted manure that I bought in my local garden centre. Sowed Lobelia x 2 kinds. Sowed cucumber, Aila Craig onions and planted begonia corms in pots. They are huge and I want to see if I can divide them, so want to make sure they have a head start. Regarding the seeds, they are Mr Fothergills and I was very concerned about the amount in the packet. I know it's fine dusty seed but the trailing lobelia in particular was very sparce. Anyone else found that with Mr Fothergill?
