What have you got germinating/growing..

[Nicos]

Oh!!!!...erm..better get started then!!

Best check out the moon planting bit too

[Oleander]

Three varieties of tomatoes, two varieties of sweet peas, sunflowers, mesembryanthemum, winter lettuce, red spring onions and parsley. All except the sunflowers have germinated!

And five types of early potatoes chitting away - 5 of each.

Going to put most of my seedlings out in the greenhouse tomorrow, then maybe start some other stuff off indoors - peppers, more tomatoes and leeks maybe.

The promise of Spring is in the air!

[MrsC]

Too much on the windowsills and in the greenhouse!

[HayleyB]

Outside I have Feltham First and Aquadulce Claudia happily growing with onion sets and garlic (which has really sprouted over the last few weeks). Inside the unheated conservatory are four varieties of potatoes chitting, and rocket, lambs lettuce and mizuna which are all growing very nicely and provided a bit of salad last week.

I have resisted the temptation of starting sowing, but am fretting about chillies, toms, peppers and aubergines being late but it's so cold out there they won't germinate and haven't really got any windowsills indoors except in the lounge.

I have a feeling Spring will be late this year too.............

[BB48]

My dining room table is covered with seed packets as I type and OH is out fiinding pallets for raised beds.
Going to get various toms (including big beef toms brought home from Greece - got to try!) Garlic chives, onions, chilli, parsnip and sweet pea sown today.

Right, where is that propagator????

[Alex_Parrott]

this is really what I needed to hear!! im so glad im not alone I have some carrotts in aswell though and made the mistake of growing them in pots first and then read magazine which said that carrotts are the only veg you shouldnt start this way but oh well will try my best with them.

Good luck to you al with yours, i will certainly need it with mine

I started my carrots in pots a few years ago and they did ok when transplanted into the garden. My dad did it last year for the first time and he says they did brilliant and he`s going to do it again this year.
I planted onions, peppers, leeks, tomatoes and tons of herds yesterday. They are on the windowsill.

[BarleySugar]

I planted out my aquadulce claudia broad beans today. I had started them in pots in the greenhouse before Christmas and was hardening them off, but forgot to put them back for the night when it was blowing a gale, and then they got left out and snowed on, so I reckoned if they could survive that, they could go into the garden. I'd planted 3 beans to a 6 in pot (and they all grew), so I planted each pot 12in apart today. I found 2 parsnips I'd missed, so that was a bonus .
In the cold greenhouse I've got onion seedlings, carrots, turnips, lettuce, radish and spinach, as well as strawberries that I've just lifted and planted in troughs to hopefully get an early crop.
Inside I've got peppers, tomatoes and chillies on the windowsills, and a mushroom box under the stairs

[greenreaper]

[rogesse]

Have just made OH read this thread as he thinks I'm a mad moo who's made him make window sills(stupid house has none) then covered them all in seed trays. We won't be seeing the kitchen/dining table until the potatoes all go in but at least I'm as sane as the rest of you....................

[Alice]

[moggssue]

Hmm, only started at the weekend - spring onions, leeks, caulis, broad beans, chillis and salad leaves. THe plot is happily growing onion sets and garlic I put in last November (unless the wet has gotten to them in the last couple of days) but the broadies I put in at the same time have given up, I think it was just tooo cold and wet for them.

Good luck all!!!

[spiderpig]
