  • Who's Planted Out What?

    I know some of us have done early sowings and our seedlings, now plantlets been sitting in the greenhouse (heated or unheated). I'm thinking of planting out soon in bed with fleece and bubblewrap protection (our last expected frost where I am is 1st week of May). Anyone in the same dilemma?

      Nothing sown or planted out yet - start tomorrow in earnest - 14 hours a day for next 8 - 10 weeks - can't wait to get going but not sure the wife feels the same !!

        Yeah, Spinach (leaf beet) is one of them for me too. Also have Chard, Beetroot, Kale, Summer Sprouting Greens and various Oriental leaves. No real urgency with all fruiting vegetables, can stay in greenhouse end April or start May.

          I tried carrots 2 weeks ago-not sprouted yet. My raddishes came up - sown 1 Feb. I put a broad bean seedling from greenhouse out yesterday so will see if that survives this week. I put some Cauliflower Seeds-All year round in the bed to see how they go. Last week seed of different peas went in ground. The neighbours peas have sprouted.

            Hi

            The greenhouse and living room window is full of seeds which have been sowed, too many to list. I am starting to run out of space.

            In the lotty I have JA, garlic, onions and parsnips.

            Hope to be sowing radish soon and planting out my spinach.
            Bye

            Carpe Diem

            The way I see it, if you want the rainbow you have got to put up with the rain!

              You've bought a proper cloche or homemade one?

                We have spinach out, chard, beetroot, spring onions, onion sets, mammoth onion seedlings, broad beans and mangetout, we have also sown raddish and carrots.

                Waiting in the wings is a huge raft of plantlets ready to go out later this week.

                  I've only got my garlic in the veg beds so far, but have 3 tomato seedlings and 2 Chilli seedlings on my office windowsil and 2 large buckets each with 2 Vales Emerald tatties in them in the garage.

                    Onions and shallots were planted out on Saturday.
                    Strawberries thinned and transplanted.
                    Hope to get spuds in this weekend.

                      They are homemade ones from those clear plastic for table use which sold by meters (I don't know it's name, but it has been doing great!) .
                      Actually I have my mangetout planted out since february, carrot (parmex) and elephant garlic planted last week. This week will be spinach (normal spinach not the beta vulgaris one) and some salad leaves (mix salad of mesclun). I am not rushing with more planting/sowing as I stil got some ready to harvest collards, radish,mustards, rainbow chard, mache, nero di toscano, water cress, black carrot and some early PSB (start to form florets).
                      My autumn garlic has been growing very well, now forming their 3 pair of leaves. The rest of the seedlings are heat lover(toms,pepper,chili,tomatillo,squash,etc) which stays at the windowsill.

                        Already in ground:
                        1st early spuds
                        Garlic
                        Overwintering onions
                        Red onion sets (forgot to buy yellow ones - oops)
                        Broad beans
                        1st sowing peas (look miserable)
                        Jeruslam artichokes

                        At home, put a few things (baby plants) in ground over weekend:
                        Mange tout
                        Dwarf french beans
                        Borlotti beans
                        Lettuces

                        I have a courgette that may go in at home in a few weeks where I can fleece if necessary

                        Otherwise, mostly still very small seedlings for later plantings

                          I've planted (all pot-grown plants, hardened off, apart from carrots and potatoes ):

                          early peas
                          summer cabbage
                          summer cauliflower
                          lettuce
                          carrots
                          early potatoes
                          shallots from seed
                          spring onions

                          Some in the ground, some in large pots.

                          I'm waiting a couple of weeks for the first beetroot and a couple more for calabrese.

                          I've grown these crops before in a cool spring (apart from the shallots from seed) and they have been able to stand up for themselves. They'll be covered if temps drop again, whcih they are likely to do.

                          It's getting too hot in the greenhouse during the day for the cool-lovers, so it's getting time to move the warm-lovers in
