Sowing now for next year - a Nutty Plan!

[Snadger]

Go for it!
I've divided up the 6 x10 GH into several "beds" - they're only 4" deep on a solid floor.
Last week (Roots) -sowed carrots and beetroot in a 4x2 bed.
Today (Shoots) sowed spring onions, leeks and onions in 4x2 and oriental salad leaves in 2x2.
Next week (Fruits) it'll be peas in 4x2
The following week (lLeaves) will be kale and lettuce.

After that, I'll either resow each section if there's no sign of life or start on another GH.
BTW, these are all old seeds, past their use by date, so I empty the packets into a jar, give them a stir and chuck them lavishly on the soil.

Don't care, that's me.

VC You are such a rebel!

Its my Inner Hippie breaking free again.

Following VC's example I will go through my seed box and see if I have any brassica seeds I can sow now, preferably cabbage.

Ignore the sowing dates and just sow them. You'll be surprised what will germinate when it doesn't feel it has to conform to the instructions.

Week 6

The usual batch of 5 seeds have been sown

Week 1 has fooled me!! What I thought was a Wizard bean is either a cucumber or a courgette - Cucumber I think.



Something's popping up in Week 3 (on the left) too.

Week 7

Week 7's seeds sow today.

I also potted on the pea and courgette from Week 1 as they looked in need of a bit more room. In so doing, I found the cucumber seed, which has also germinated, but left that in with the tomato seedling. No sign of the Field bean so that may be a goner.

Only Week 3 seeds showing life and they look the same as last week.

Week 8 - Disaster!!

There has been an intruder in the GH that has dug holes in the modules - ?mouse



That's the Bad news!

The Good news is that it left some seeds that were germinating.

I've poked these back in, guessing which Week they were from, and moved the lot to another GH. hopefully out of the Meeces' way.

Sowed Week 8 seeds.

Another Update on another Nutty Plan!

I lost impetus with this plan after the meeces got in and dug holes in the modules. However, do you remember the little courgette that appeared in November (2 posts before this one)?

Its survived the winter in the GH.



Must be tougher than I thought!

That's one tough little fella

And there was me being impressed by leeks coming up (sown 1st Dec) & sunflower (sown 20th Dec). Doesn't seem so impressive now

Spotted some spuds too.

Its survived the winter in the GH SO FAR.

Added in pertinent information

[SarrissUK]

but it's so cute! I want to sow courgettes now lol But they'd never survive in my greenhouse that has several panes missing.

[veggiechicken]

I sowed Courgettes on Monday in the bedroom.

Results and Conclusions

I'm about to pick my first mangetout

The rest was a failure

No surprise really but I blame those meeces to peeces.
