Seed sowing thread 2023.

[Sweet savory]

Today I sowed 4 poles direct with runner beans Guinness record. I am going for a red/white effect down the line. More runners sown in pots as back up and will do Moonlight in a week or two for succession.

Yesterday I sowed about 16 or 17 pots of sweetcorn goldcrest.

[peanut]

Sowed more lettuces, spring onions, comfrey, chamomile.
Chitting conqueror sweetcorn, mamba, blauhilde and scarlet emperor beans plus way too many squashes, potimarron, hooligan, sweet dumpling, nutty delicia, celebration mix and rouge vif D'Etamps and sunshine and de nice a fruit rond courgettes.
All are old seeds so I'm not expecting them all to germinate.

I think that only works if you grow a really tall corn, certainly the varieties I grow would never be tall enough to support any beans. I might have some squash in with the corn though

[peacegarden2024]

it is not height that matters in supporting the beans with sweet corn
it is thickness of stalk that matters or some grow the bean up poles
next to corn. or dwarf bean varieties that do not need support.

Sown a trough of speedy mix lettuce then some more spring onions and radishes in a bed.

Yesterday I sowed about seven more pots of moonlight runner beans,my white lady variety haven’t germinated,oh yes one has I just looked,so they could all germinate & they’re just slower than moonlight,moonlight germinated over a week earlier

[Jungle Jane]

I forgot,a few days ago I planted up a large container with Charlotte potatoes
