^You know I want to know what varieties of lettuce, Bren...

Out of interest, what are your low temperatures at night?

Fantastic, Bren. I've got some of those. And I can keep them on a very cool but not freezing windowsill. Brilliant.

Only one sowing today.

Broccoli Seeds - Raab '60 days'

Any tips please because I’ve not grown it before.

[Andraste]

I'll be interested in how your Raab do Bren. I tried a much later sowing (like June/July time) & they bolted on me but I'd imagine yours will fair better sown now x
edit to add I looked back at the old thread and I sowed on 1 Aug 23 so later than I thought

Thanks Lottie, those Rabbe 60 seeds were from last years GYO mag so thought I’d give them a go.

Set some sweet peas to chit in wet kitchen towel, since I've only got 3 out of 30 from the 14th Feb sowing. Also sowed Cucumbers Beth Alpha, Telegraph and Louisa, since I've got plenty of those. The one's I've got fewer of can wait a bit. Sowed all of my old remaining Egyptian mint seeds, they've got two chances! Finally mixed up two varieties of parsley seeds and set them to soak.
