Anyone else getting carried away with this sowing business?

[Likac66]

I think I may have gone a bit mad too. Over the last month I have sown:
6 varieties of tomato (got 35 plants up)
Standard sweet pepper - about 6 have come up
A purple beauty sweet pepper - 2 seedlings so far
Numex twilight chilli - just a couple of those
8 cucumbers - all 8 have germinated
8 courgette (no sign yet)
About 10 of each calabrese and purple sprouting broccoli
8 broad beans
12 mange tout
12 peas
6 runner beans
8 French beans
Early Nantes carrots
2 bags of first earlies potatoes
Rocket
Basil
2 trays of mixed lettuce sown 3 weeks apart
Tray of spring onions being successionally planted
12 mini pop sweetcorn
Red onions from seed
I think that's all the veg. I planted curly kale, onions and leeks in the autumn. The kale is ready now. I only have a small greenhouse so I think I'll be giving some tomato, chilli and cucumberr plants away.
I put the peas, mange tout and broad beans in the cold frame today to start hardening off.

Hello and welcome to the vine Likac66

I don't like to count how much I've sown think I'd sooner be in denial about it all those seedling and were I'm going to put them

[Farmer_Gyles]

the missus is getting all excited about going out to buy more seeds to replace the packets she's emptied ..... please pray for me ....

i don't want to deter her, she's loving the sowing and growing .... she'll learn from experience ....

i'm sure i'll have a stack of seedlings to give away in a few weeks time ....

erm.........OH has now enquired as to exactly where I'm going to put 120 tomato plants , 5 different varieties of aubs, numerous chillies and peppers and thats before we start on everything else .......he also asked how many gherkin plants did I intend growing this year

[VirginVegGrower]

I can't list everything here that I've sown already as there isn't enough white space. Suffice to say "yes, I've got carried away!"

[Rabidbun]

I'm feeling all virtuous now - only one windowsill full of tomatoes, tomatillos and chillies (plus spring onions, chard, climbing nasturtiums and a few sweet peas in pots in the greenhouse). Will send the other half to this thread next time he moans!

Course this will only work till I put the peas, cucumbers, beans, other beans and the rest in over the next month

[Florence Fennel]

I'm trying to be sensible this year. I pricked out a lot of seedlings yesterday, but I also composted a lot as well. I have to try to remember I haven't got an allotment, just my garden! My theory is that I can grow a few of a lot of varieties, fingers crossed.

[donnakebab]

I'm not going to list what I've sewn because it will only want to make me do more, which I am going to do anyway for continuance of supply with the herbs.

We've had a bit of a move around and OH has made himself an office in the small spare room. His desk is an old teachers desk from the local junior school I used to attend up the road, but it was our dining table up until Saturday. I have another drop leaf table but it's in the conservatory covered in seedlings. 39 of which are tomatoes. My blowaway is starting to fill up too.

I love it. OH thinks I'm a freak. He hates gardening but loves cropping, it fits in with his hunter/gatherer instinct.

Anyway, off to sew more mustard cress, basil and coriander.

Feeling a bit better now I know it isn't just me. I've stopped there only because FIL is growing much more than me and the idea is that we complement each other's stock, rather than double up. I'm also finding the digging tough going due to the dodgy arm. It's sure good physio, though!

I am now starting the April Panic.

- three heated props full of stuff
- 2 south-facing windowsills, full of stuff
- greenhouse, full of stuff

- seed folder: full of stuff THAT NEEDS SOWING !

[Farmer_Gyles]

and the missus brought home another 4 packs of seeds today .... and a catalogue .... and she showed me the apricot tree and a few other things she's going to buy .....

[SarzWix]

My panic is the complete opposite, I haven't sown half of the stuff in the 'March' section of my seed box yet, just haven't got the time right now. Or the space for that matter, that my big greenhouse has been dismantled. And it's looking increasingly like my polytunnel dreams are going on hold for this year due to lack of cash, so heaven alone knows where all my tomato plants are going to go.

[binley100]

I got all my seeds out last night to try and sort them out ............OMG .....so many seeds and so many still to be sown aaarghhhhh .........*does headless chicken impression
