The seed sowing thread 2014!!

[veggiechicken]

Its the start of the Growing year and we're all anxious to start sowing and feel soil beneath our fingernails. So how about telling us which seeds you've sown each day, as a gentle reminder to start rummaging for them in your seed stash

Broccoli early purple

All of the above in my utility room, intended for eating as baby leaves in salads. All except the lettuce little gem have germinated and been moved to the grow light garden.

It's very frustrating for me as I've nowhere to grow on seedlings where it's light and/or warm enough...however, having said that I do have 24 Espelette chillies germinating on top of the radiator!

I've sown a second pot each of mustard and cress (first lot eaten) - it's so much tastier than supermarket "salad cress" which is actually rape seed.

I'm sowing nothing for outside until February. I'm not. Really, I'm not. I'm going to sellotape up the seed tin as a deterrent. My windowsills shall be bare (apart from houseplants). I mean it. Really.
