A couple of days ago I sowed some rocket in two containers covered with netting,hope this warm spell helps them along it’s quite late sowing….my lettuce is nearly ready it’s been one month today this is what the growth is like -

[Jungle Jane]

The rocket’s doing well,this is today,it’s been a month since sowing. I got some tubular fleece that fits over pots. It comes in a really long length you cut the lengths of tubular bits off,easier to use for pots,snails are still getting in though

Healthy looking plants JJ

This week I've sown some pre-chitted sweet peas, my first go at sowing them this time of year.

I intend to sow a few Broad Beans this weekend to overwinter in the blowaway (8 seeds left in the packet from spring).

Lessons from last year:
1. put something heavy in the bottom of the blowaway so they don't dive head-first to the floor after nurturing them all winter.
2. sow into small pots rather than large modules so they don't need to be potted on before planting out.
3. get OH to fish the pots out of storage as there's bound to be a big spider living in there.
