Last weekend - chillies plus various winter veg in heated prop, to move out to the unheated greenhouse later (experimenting) - pak choi, mizuna, lambs lettuce, winter lettuce, spinach etc...

I sowed my onions ('Ailsa Craig') on Monday, in home-made seed medium*, in two trays, in a heated propagator. I made the medium from half-and-half leafmould and garden compost, both sieved (although the result was still pretty rough-textured). I consulted my books on compost for recipes, and that was the simplest, so I went for it. Comments from experienced makers of their own growing media welcomed. One seedling has appeared, but I think it's a weed, not an onion, although it does appear to be a monocot. At any rate, it shows that seedlings will germinate in the mix!

*I don't like the terms "seed compost" or "potting compost", because they invite confusion with garden compost, therefore "seed medium". Also "potting medium" and "growing media".

Also sowed some parsley seeds and popped these in an unheated propagator on the new shelf that my lovely boyfriend built to go above the kitchen windowsill to increase space!!

Today I sowed some AYR Cauli, harbinger toms, broad beans , penstemons and my SS pressie ....hibiscus....

[gojiberry]

Managed to sow some shallot and onion seed yesterday. I never do very well with seed of either but one year I hope to crack the secret. Also sowed some red cabbage seed as it needs a fairly long growing season.
