[annie8]

Just spotted my sweetcorn seeds sow by date was dec last year. Hat do you reckon - do I chance it or is sweetcorn one that always needs fresh seed?

[mothhawk]

I'd chance the sweetcorn but sow extra as it probably won't all germinate. The seeds should last a couple of years I think, but less if the packet has been opened.

Pre-sprout them between two layers of damp kitchen roll. Left somewhere warm (25-30c is ideal) they should sprout within 72 hours. If they still show no growth after 5 days they're definitely dead.

Sown two more rows of pre-chitted parsnips this morning.

[Sweet savory]

I have sowed old Beth alpha seed but have a packet of la diva too in case the oldies fail.
Today I filled remaining roottrainers with sweetcorn rising sun and pea marouby de mausanne. As a couple of the alderman peas appear to have rotted as they came through, probably me overwatering, I have put some to chit as back up.

[Bren In Pots]

This afternoon 2 types of spinach.

[Snoop Puss]

Cucurbits today:
Barbara butternut squash
Emir melons
Ogen melons

Sowed three varieties of tomatoes this afternoon.
Darby Stripe because it didnt germinate first time.
Sweet Aperitife because I forgot about it.
Urbakiny, just to try something different.

All my other tomato seeds have germinated and are growing well so far.
