Seed sowing thread 2025

You're right, Rary. But I have no first-hand knowledge of this. Being a youngster, I've used modern technology to verify your claim: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldest...ed%20in%202005.

Put some chilli, cuc & broadie seeds to chit at the weekend (or maybe Friday ).

100% sprouting on my cucs (mini munch) so potted up all 5 today - I only want 3 but I'm sure I can find a home for the spares. No sprouts on the chilli or broadies yet.

Planted my red onion sets in trays too - Does that count as seed sowing?

Todays sowings, they’re now in the heated propagator.

Black cherry toms.
Gardeners delight toms.
Mini bell toms.
Flat leaf parsley.
Sweet and Genovese Basil.

I haven't bought any seeds for a couple of years I've sowed some old (very old) tomato seeds today, 6 different varieties. If they fail to germinate, I'll buy some new. I only want about 6 plants, so we'll see

Can hardly believe it - they've all popped their little heads up, even the sow by 2018!

Congrats Florence Fennel - you've proved it's always worth trying (unless it's parsnips)
