whos got plans to sow this weekend

[hawthorns]

has anyone got any plans to sow or plant into soil this weekend?

[Flummery]

I shall try to sow some more broad beans - so far I have started them in modules. These will be in the ground. I might bung in a few onion sets too.

My onion and shallot sets (started in cell trays) need to go out onto the lottie, but the forecast isn't looking good. Still a bit early for seeds outside here just yet.

Might get a bit more soil ready for more onion sets. Depends on the weather really.

First wave of indoor planting, just a few of each tomatoes, chilli, sweet peppers
and in the greenhouse broad beans, cabbage, celery, celeriac, early lettuce, leeks, kale, kohl rabi, early peas, will stop after that as will have no room left.

Hoping to start doing some digging on the Lottie, but its down to the weather the weekend forecast for here is rain all weekend
If i don't get to the lottie i will sow some more parsnip seeds

I really need to plant my potted on shallots out into the open ground, and finish my little patio started a month ago, however as usual, my first weekend off for ages and the forecast is very wet.

So will probably stay in bed with cats and eat chocolate reading GYO.

If the weather holds off I shall be planting out onion sets and a row of first early tatties, if its wet I shall sow in pots lots of mangetout and early crop peas plus flowers for the cutting bed.

broad bean seedlings but will probably put a cloche over them....

Absolutely nothing, far too early this far north. I have the usual greenhouse stuff sown but the outdoor stuff will remain in their packets until the end of the month. Shuold be ready to put outside towards the middle of May. All depends on when the last full moon in May is as that's usually when we get the last frost.

Snap, Norm, it's too early for outdoor stuff here too. We have to contend with a bit more rain than you as well, so I'm not just waiting for warm but also for the ground to dry out a bit, usually end of March/early April. (Although last year was unusually dry and quite warm, who knows what this year will bring??!)

This weekend, I am planting onion sets, rhubarb (crowns?) and jerusalem artichoke tubers into the ground.

I will be potting on the first lot of tomatoes and a courgette. And then sowing some cabbages, cauliflowers, brocolli, brussels sprouts, and a different lettuce mix (sowed 2 mixes last weekend) - all indoors into modules.

Intending to plant up some peas and mange tout in some guttering in my cold greenhouse and possibly the first of my tomato seeds but may leave them until the week after. In addition, need to do some potting on of my chillies and peppers which are doing great guns on the utility room window ledge.

sowing loads and loads this weekend... but all indoors I put most of my seeds into modules and plant out, that way you know how many you've got. Also no thinning.... can't bear to kill ickle baby plants.

a few exceptions - early carrots under cloches, but not till mid-March; onion sets - going in this week I hope; and parsnips later on in the year, I'm doing an experiment this year because someone said if you sow them outside and later in the year, they suffer less from canker (an ongoing problem with me and my parsnips). So we'll see...!

Ooh peppers - thanks for reminding me cos I forgot them last year.
