Reason: Forgot a bean
Up early to allotment to sow seeds (already 25c in greenhouse!!!)
Tray of Verbena bonariensis
4 x Winter Squash ' Waltham Butternut'
4 x Squash 'Uchiki kuri'
3 x 'Julie's Squash ~ a mystery variety which my penpal sent me (she couldn't remember name either ) She grows it on her allotment and says it's tasty so I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes
Would have sown more but ran out of seed compost!
Finished off sieving soil onto asparagus bed.
Left after 2.5hrs with shades of red on arms and face Greenhouse said it was 36c in there!!!
3 types of carrot - Flyaway, Nigel and mixed colours
A few old parsnip seeds (last years) to give them a chance
Beetroot Subeto
Paris Silverskin onions
Red and white spring onions
3 types of sprouts into trays as run out of space in the seed bed
Got some beans in today: cobra, scarlet emperor, borlotti and some Lima beans I found in the bottom of the seed box. Popped some khol rabbi, beetroot and some more pak choi in, as well as sowing some nasturtiums.
Lots of transplants of various veg too
There are no gardening mistakes, only learning curves
No matter how big the job or overwhelming the task, a good dose of sheer obstinacy and bloody-mindedness should see you through
And sown lots of old seeds ( or they will be next time I get to sowing ).
Very VC style mixed them all in a jug and scattered them on the raspberry bed.
Sadly the one thing I was really looking forward too has failed to germinate anything, my mammoth trench celery, I followed advice given and nothing, I now unexpectedly have a whole raised bed empty that might just end up full of beans.
Sown more because germination wasn't good enough for my liking.
2 varieties of squash
2 varieties of pumpkin
2 varieties of bear french bean
Runner bean scarlet
