Seed sowing thread 2023.

[peanut]

Sowed some mini munch cucumbers which had got wet in the packet and sprouted and then dried out again, so I don't have much hope of them having any life left in them but I had to give them a try.
Also sowed Florence fennel, watermelon mini love and emir melon.

Put my sweetcorn seeds on damp paper to sprout. They're a bit mouldy, but hopefully they'll be okay. I find sweetcorn seeds often go mouldy on the damp paper, anyway, but still sprout and grow just fine. I think it must be the high sugar content.

Planted up two bags of sharpes express potatoes & two bags of charlottes today,just finished as the rain came,helpful weather watering them all in

My sweetcorn seeds have done nothing (they were kept on heat, so after three days at least some of them out to have been sprouting), so I've replaced them with fresh ones from a new packet.
I've also put all of my runner beans to sprout.
