    Onions for me and a neighbour
    Figueres
    Moradas de Amposta
    Valencianas tardías.
    Not that keen on the late Valencians. They're a bit hard and not as nice for cooking with as the other two, but they last in storage really well.

    Tomatoes
    Sungold
    Amana Orange (free from seed supplier)
    Rose de Berne
    Rosado de Barbastro
    Big Daddy
    Cuor di Bue

          Sowed yellow pear toms and padron peppers.
          Nestled somewhere in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Good soil, strong winds and 4 Giant Puffballs!

                    Brassicas: Green Magic broccoli, Pionier cauli (seed from France, hence the weird spelling), Red Express (very old seed) and Golden Acre cabbage, and Azur Star and Korist kohlrabi
                    Beetroot: Golden Eye and Cardeal
                    Lettuce: A few each of Rubinette and Queen of May (bit late...) and Little Gem plus lots of cut-and-come-again mixed leaves (still in date but I've had the seeds for years, unopened)
                    Spring onions: Karminka (terrible germination last year but the ones that did germinate were really nice, sadly seed no longer available, fingers crossed)

                          • Between yesterday and today. Sowed 12 varieties of tomatoes, 5 types of peppers and chillis, 3 cucumbers and lots of flowers.
                            All are late starting as I have been away but hoping to catch up if the weather cooperates.

                            And your hands begin to harden.
                            You will find yourself a partner,
                            In the glory of the garden.

                            • Chitted parsnips. The roots were showing so in they went quick or else they will fork.
                              I just had to put up with the cold and get them in.
