Over the last couple of days I've sown spring onions, spinach, carrots, parsley, lettuce, nasturtiums and PSB, mainly for salads at this stage.

I love my tomatoes!!
I grew to many different varieties last year!!
Probably will grow to many this year, but I think I've reduced the amount!!!
Anyways this is what I sowed last night.....lots from the 2013 Seed Circle

New Varieties for me
Mortgage Lifter
Dancing with Smurfs
Amish Paste
Amish Mayberry
Hahms Gelbe Topftomate
J Hawkins
Goldkrone
Orange Banana (Russian Origin)
Otto's Papa
Peacevine
Roughwood Golden Plum
Kibits Ukraine
Italian Gold
Black Icicle
Blonde Boar
Black & Brown Boar
Outdoor Girl
Roma

Usual Suspects
San Marzano

I shall grow around 1-2 plants of the new varieties. San Marzano will grow 10-15 plants as these are my favourite plum varieties, I make lots of passata with it. Still lots of plants!!! lol

Sounds like a plan! Let me know how you get on.
All I've done so far is start preparing the polytunnel beds with well rotted manure and sowed the seeds. I will also be preparing some outdoor beds soon.

Todays sowings are :-bell peppers, long pointy peppers, melons,watermelons, cucs, achoca, crystal apple cucs, cabbages green and red, caulies, leeks, beetroot, swede, nasturtians, peas .....managed to resist any more toms . I think 98 might be ample

Today's offerings include:
Cabbage - Ruby Ball
Shallot - Figaro
Calabrese - Autumn Green?

How do you grow them on all under cover?

At the moment all the toms are in the gh under fleece , I usually end up with a dozen in the gh , pots all round the patio (very sheltered and south facing) and all the rest get chucked in a bed at the lottie and left to get on with it . Last year they did fantastic , better than the gh ones ..this year I'll have my poly as well

I've never had much success outside apart from summer 2010 s'pose it depends on having a good summer though ay!
