Seed Sowing thread 2019

[MelanieSW]

1. Edible lupins (saved seeds from last year)
2. Sweet corn
3. Runner beans Czar and
4. Climbing French Cosse Violette

All safely indoors, though I'm seriously running out oof space now. Can't wait for the tomato seedlings to move out.

Sweetcorn sowed in the greenhouse in old yoghurt pots, things starting to get crowded in there now lol.

[Florence Fennel]

Dwarf peas both purple and green, runners, peas, CACA salad and some marigolds

[Bren In Pots]

More pre-parsnip seeds I think that was the last of them.
Telephone peas, spring onions, and Sunflowers. and some lettuce to replace what the hailstones decimated.

Sown in the salad bar.
Spinach, little harlequin salad leaves, Californian mix.

EDIT The latest technique didn't work - 164 beans are furry! Wont do that again in a hurry.

Beetroot sown conventionally in modules so its in with a chance.

Yesterday I sowed lots of melons, now in the propagator.


SP, I'm proud of you.

Mine went really furry too, but they have sprouted.
Should I plant the furry sprouted beans in compost or sling them?

[nickdub]

Plant them would be my choice.

[farendwoman]

Plant them would be my choice.

Man after my own heart.
No point in wasting them - they can either grow, or .........

[Thelma Sanders]

I sowed 2 each of Beth Alpha and Mini-munch cukes, and Partenon courgettes. Potted up 13 chitted sweetcorn seeds.

Bitter gourd/melon seed, removed from an overripe shop bought gourd/melon, trying for the first time to see if it will germinate

Don't let melon seed catch you off guard when germinating. I had 3 inch long tap roots after 48 hours in a ziplock bag. It's a similar story with cucumber seeds.

I was in the habit of having my pepper and tomato seeds take 3-7 days to germinate, but the melon seeds were ready to pot up in 2 days flat. Something I wasn't expecting. But then again, it is my first year growing melons.
