      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".

            I've started my tomatoes today, in unheated propagators but indoors until the greenhouse heaters arrive and are installed.

            8 each of Gardener's Delight, Ildi, Marmande and Roma (not all for me), 4 of Silvery Fir Tree (which I'm parraine for) 2 each of Maritime Pink, Calabash Red, miel de Mexique, Ananas Vert, Ferris Wheel, Orange Queen, Dorothy Green (all Kokopelli) and 2 HSL Essex Wonder which somebody sent me privately.

            Getting started, tomorrow it's the peppers, chillis and aubergines

                      My daughter (3.5 years old) and I did loads today.

                      Sunflowers (she insisted) in loo rolls and chillis and toms in the windowsill propagator thing:

                      3x Dr Carolyn Pink tomatoes
                      3x Gardener's Delight
                      6x sweet peppers
                      6x bird's eye chillis
                      3x cayenne
                      3x scotch bonnet
                      3x anaheim
                      3x hot teppin

                      Some of the seeds are past their sow by date, so we'll see what pops up.

                            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.
