Tomatoes, chilles, peppers, Aubergines, Broad beans, peas, Caulis, Brussels, PSB, Boer pumpkin, Gem Squash, sweetcorn & leeks - only a few of each under lights on the cill.....
EDIT: I forgot the cougettes...
i added a load of cut and come again salads today, more spring onions, fast growers ishikura? some beetroot for the leaves, and some apple seeds ( it's a childhood thing), also some early nantes carrots in tubes, may have to move out there is no room left for us!
Here in New York we are having a snowstorm, however, I am starting seeds for the greenhouse. The tomatoes will be Best Boy, and Bush Beefsteak which are determinate and Glory Hybrid which is indeterminate. Eggplant will be Florida Highbush, and I have some Bright Lights Swiss chard underway. Additionally, Marconi peppers which are large roasting peppers.
No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, no culture comparable to that of the garden. But though an old man, I am but a young gardener. - Thomas Jeffereson
I have got 1 full packet of white onion seeds (ailsa craig) and 1 full packet of red onion seeds (red baron) sowed in 2 seperate trays. 8 melon seeds in the heated propagator.
Just about to sow my toms and cucs.
And here are my chilli plants that are about 4 month old in my growing (box) room.
Three varieties of cherry tomatoes
Chillies
Two varieties of Basil
Chives
Thyme
Dragon fruit
Sweat peas, marigolds, and a variety of other flowers for companion planting
Broad beans sown three weeks ago are already outside under cloches!
I dont have much in the greenhouse itself , just some chilli and Oregon Sugar snap which have been growing since autumn and are flowering/producing peas !!
I have a load of seedlings at home ready to roll out when the really cold spells are over, today i am taking up my Soya plants, which are 12" tall and have several leaves, I am hoping that the last of the really nasty weather is over, otherwise i shall have to look of ways to add extra heat to the greenhouse at night.
If there is a sudden temperature drop overnight, do you think seedlings in a propagator would be ok in the heated greenhouse?
Since my last post I've sown lots and lots of sweet peppers (sunnybrook and ramiro) all the rest of the tomatoes (millefleur, red robin and gardeners delight) and I'm just about to start on the herbs!
Is it just me or are all the posts in this thread missing crucial information.... namely your location (for crops going to go outside) - I know some have a detailed location in their profile!! - and cold frame / cold greenhouse / heated greenhouse for the more tender plants?
As for me... location: South Yorkshire, frosts expected until end of May
Cold, draughty greenhouse.
The proof of the growing is in the eating.

For most people (the ones that have filled in their profile) it shows where they are at the top right of every post they make, listed as location.
Just planted a couple of trays of cut and come again salad leaves in the greenhouse down the lotty and also a tray of radishes, after I had put the felt on the new shed.
