First seed sowing of the year for me, all in windowsill propagators ...

6 cells of dhalia yams
6 cells of inca berries
6 cells of wonderberry
6 cells of golden pearls
3 pots of ornamental grasses
10 cells of black strawberries
10 cells of yellow strawberries
10 cells of blue strawberries
10 cells of giant red strawberries
72 cells of wild white strawberries

Yes that does say seventy two wild white's - I need a total of 80 viable strawberry plants, with at least 60% of them shade tolerant

That's pretty much all my early sowing done, so unless I have a change of heart about anything, no more sowing for about 6 to 8 weeks now

Read your blog today, will enjoy seeing how you get on. Will definitely give sweetcorn a try. I have containers like yours but deeper, so should work

Finally couldn't resist any longer although being cautious as I don't have any glass and need to maintain OH patience with pots and trays everywhere. Planted chillies, celeriac, alpine strawberries and an assortment of herbs for the kitchen window sill and eventually the plot.

[wetwalnut]

Actually sowed my tomato seeds yesterday 20 seeds of Chadwick Cherry from real seed in modules

[Snailfox]

Just put my seed potatoes out for chitting... i need to get more organised!

[veggiechicken]

Sowed some baby beetroot (Pronto) in modules. Now in propagator. The packet says they're ready to eat in 10-12 weeks Hoping for some early beets in May

[Bigmallly]

Sowed 12 Snowball Caulis in Jiffy Pots.............They are a 1st for me (Jiffy Pots) so interested how they do.

[Bumberling Brian]

Sowed some pomodoro toms , chilli 2 types, and some dahlia seeds all in heated propagator with a view to growing on in a light box I have just built. As I see it if they all go belly up at least I will have a chance to replace them...... I hope
But seeing as I am new to this gardening thing the theory and practice may well leave a lot to be desired but fingers crossed

I did mine a few days ago...

Aubergines
Strawberry - Alexandra & Baron
Tomatoes - moneymaker
Basil
Oregano

I also have another batch of basil, rosemary and oregano for the kitchen, they'll live indoors.

I also have sunflower and sweet peas

Atm they are sitting in my sunny conservatory but have to bring them in to the kitchen during the night as it's too cold.

First time growing from seeder here so I'm rather excited

Sowed some Spinach Tirza F1 (my favourite, produces huge leaves) in an 18" square pot in the garage. Also 50 early onward peas in the propagator. Beginning to wonder if I am getting over-enthusiastic with the early sowings.
