    Sowed my aubergines yesterday, I usually sow on 1st Jan!
    This year I have sown all my open packets of seeds, so I have black beauty, pinstripe, little fingers and white casper. Also sowed sweet chocolate pepper a new one for me.
    Nestled somewhere in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Good soil, strong winds and 4 Giant Puffballs!

          Still trying to snow here, so just the Onions sown at the moment, no point sowing anything tender as we had frosts into May last year and it knocked the tomatoes back, will leave it another month, though I may sow some peas and broad beans inside the blowaway inside the greenhouse later this month.

            I sowed the first seeds of the season today, 5 types of habanero, and an aubergine mix. I'm waiting for half term to sow my peas and broad beans because my niece likes helping me do those.

              Finally got the chillis and tomatoes sown today. Hopefully they'll germinate at 26°C
              Overdue flower seeds tomorrow...

                    Desperately want to sow something, preferably veggies. Is it too early for Alderman peas? Not doing broad beans this year as we've still a freezer tub full of last years!
                    Not sure about 'tender' plants like peppers and chillies, they might be 'abandoned' to themselves if we go on Spring holidays.

                      OH decided he wants to grow some big standard peppers, so those are chitting away on the radiator.

                        I sowed some more peppers today, and should probably reign it in a bit as I've also got pepper plug plants on order (but I will almost certainly not reign it in )

                        Then some lemon seeds because why not 😂
                        If nothing else, I can re-home them at a plant sale or stick them on the wall outside for passersby to take. I have space for one..maybe...in the conservatory.
