What did you sow today.

[Bigmallly]

Yesterday I found a packet of Beetroot seeds to expire 2008..............so I thought, what the heck & sowed them into modules, 2 seeds per mod.......

[VirginVegGrower]

I sowed some Autumn something (Giants? Champions? Kings?) leeks today, though I just scattered them over a seed tray half-filled with compost and covered them. Hope they don't mind being transplanted!

Also moved a few of my chitted Arran Pilot pots to their grow bag today, with the next lot to do tomorrow or Tuesday.

I already have onions on the go, and am waiting on my pea plants and bell peppers to germinate. I admit the peppers are an experiment!!

Going to put some Charlotte and some Rocket first earlies in bags today. My sweet peppers are now two inches high. My peas are not yet through

[selfraising]

Today I have sown indoors:
Beef tomato Country Taste
Beef tomato Aunt Gerties Gold
Beef tomato Orange Russian
Amish Paste
Chili Pyramid (bit late but will see what happens)

Outdoors in unheated gh:
Lupins
Cleome
A tray of spinach Tirza
A tray of spicy oriental mix salad leaf
Spring onion Cilia
A tray of cultivated rocket.

Oh and started parsnip Gladiator chitting in kitchen roll.

[BarleySugar]

In unheated greenhouse - peas (meteor), and sweet peas.
Hispi cabbage and kohl rabi.
Martock beans (originally from Heywayne), and crimson flowered braod beans.
In heated propagator - celeriac, would have sown tomatoes, but I've 'lost' them . Goodness knows where I've put them, but they are not in my seed box.

What's the betting you buy more and then find them.........

[Jono]

Planted some mixed salad leaves under a cloche.

[hawthorns]

20 white gem parsnips into kitchen rolls
10 ambassador peas into loo rolls

[perkin]

Chitting a handful of White King parsnips on damp kitchen paper in a propagator.
Also discovered some self-sown purple podded peas underneath the trellis where I grew them last year (got lazy in the autumn and didn't clear the plants away) - they're all about 5 cms high so far!

[Bren In Pots]

Sown 45 loo rolls with 3 or 4 Hollow crown parsnips seeds in each.

[Pumpkin Becki]

Direct in the lottie: Leek 'Musselburg' and P*****p 'Albion'
In the windowsill propagator: Chillis 'Cayenne', 'Rokita', 'Scotch Bonnet', 'Fuego Ibrido'

[grenhouse]

Just sown tomatoes, my january sowing don't look too clever! (principe borghese, cour di bue, gardeners delight, money maker, ildi, tigerella, beams yellow pear and black cherry).

And a few more chillis to go with the 24 I already have. (just sown bishops hat, cayenne and pretty in purple - 6 of each)

RE beetroot in modules, it's the most successful way of doing it in my opinion. 1 seed per module, then pop out and into ground, so little wasteage and excellent beets!

So far today have sown beetroot in modules, more to be done today. Am getting a tad lost with all the different types of seed I have and when to sow them and it's only March !! Having real difficulties with the compost going mouldy too

[vegnut]

Planted the following into modules.

Spinach - Toscane

Komatsuna - Te-suto

Broccoli - Summer Purple

Kale - Dwarf Green Curled

Beetroot - Crimson King

[Potstubsdustbins]

Smilingshoe,

Dont mean to teach anyone to suck eggs but are you watering your compost from below, i.e. standing the container in water. Watering from above can cause mould.

Today potted up 30 tomato seedlings.

Started to soak my peas.

Planted 4 melon Sweetheart seeds (living in hope)
