who is sowing what today

[Hazel at the Hill]

I also have started Crimson Flowered broad beans, Brussels, Leeks, carrots in tubs, Red cabbage, garlic, heritage onions from seed. Coleslaw cabbage thing, calabrese, mini cauliflower and Cannabis. One of these is a lie.

Yes, I thought it was a bit early for brussels too.

Ha Ha...

I am sowing some chilies,several mustard, spinach, brassicas, spring onions, carrot and beet. The rest will be 2 or 3 weeks later as I have used 2/3 of my 2" pots and both my modules.

Yes some toms might be a good thing!

Sowed 2 each of cucumber and courgette as practice run to see how fast they germinate on the window sill seeing as my heated propagator is going to be tied up for a good while. Also sowed artichoke seeds that had been chilled in fridge for just over 2 weeks. Sowed more tomatoes that failed to germinate after over 2 weeks (chucked away the failed ones). Tomorrow will sow various Oriental leafy veggies and maybe Leeks, parsley, sweet basil, coriander and spring onions.

Aaarrrggggghhhhh stop this mental cruelty.
I am out here planting nothing but wanting to plant loads.
The boss picked up our early spuds yesterday so they will now be chitting and I shall plant them when I get home in 3 weeks.
Onions,toms,peppers and a chilly all doing well on the windowsill by all accounts. Asked the boss to send me some pics but she told me I was being sad!! Am I?

I'm currently growing moss in my lawn. I'm brilliant at it.

I have the use of one of my Dad's greenhouses, and the 'border' beds that we've made around it. Last year my OH and Dad pretty much took care of everything, but since my OH is in sub-zero Alberta, Canada, I've promised myself I'll do my own growing this year. I know absolutely nothing, so will proceed to ask lots of silly questions!!

I've got first earlies chitting on the window sill, and plan to grow only basic salad stuffs since I love it all so much. Is there any reason at all why I can't start all these right now, indoors? The greenhouse is unheated and I have plenty of window space at home and seed trays for the following:

Lambs Lettuce
Salad Bowl Lettuce
Oak-Leaf Lettuce
Rocket
Sorrel (Volare)
Land Cress (American)
Spring Onion (Shimonita)
Mangetout (Oregon Sugar Pod)
Yellow Tumbler Tomatoes
Purple Russia Tomatoes
Moneymaker Tomatoes

I was thinking on beetroot as well, to harvest as baby beets - can anyone recommend?

Except for the tomatoes which I'm not sure will germinate on the window sill (mine are in the heated propagator), the rest should be alright. My Brassica like cabbage, broccoli etc started sprouting from day 4 onwards on the window sill. Once they're seedlings, I will put them out in my unheated greenhouse to harden them off plus give them plenty of light so that they don't get leggy but watch out for frost (when I'd bring them indoors)!

Sorry can't advise on beetroot, never grown myself.

Thanks veg - it was recommended to me that I put the tomatoes in my boiler cupboard - warm and dark - to start them off.....

[smallblueplanet]

Your tomatoes will want to be warm and light - kitchen windowsill should be okay.

[Sirius]

Yeah, I wondered about the 'dark' issue, didn't make sense to me!! Looks like I'll make myself busy tomorrow evening then, once work for the day is done and dusted Thanks Manda and veg for your help!

i waqs very tempted but waitingbfor a couple more weeks. dought i will last though as i have no will power

[Keep It Green]

Today has been really nice, it's great to have some sunshine at long last. I managed to finish both bases for my new and second hand greenhouses. Just need to put them up now.

I've already got a few things on the go - Broad Beans - Carrots - Cauliflower - Cabbage - Strawberries and a few plants. Potatoes are now chitting away, I'm unsure when these will be ready. I'll be having a look at early pea's and a few other things once I've got the first greenhouse up (no more space on the windowsill).

Keep It Green!
