The seed sowing thread 2014!!

[darcyvuqua]

I sowed habaneros and cayenne peppers yesterday and they're in the bedroom windowsill. The ones I sowed about 3 weeks ago haven't put in an appearence, but you can bet your life they'll show up now!

FF have you down Habs at this time of year before if so do they actually set fruit??

[binley100]

Today I sowed an overload of squashes , summer and winter .....at the moment they are in an unheated prop in the bedroom with the airing cupboard. Where the 'eck I'm going to put them when they come up is anyones guess ..

[Nickiontheallotment]

About 3-4 weeks ago i sowed

Scotch Bonnet
AliBaba alpine strawberry
Dwarf cape gooseberry
Cape gooseberry
Basil Lime
Basil Chen
Micro Tom tomatoes

Popped them in an unheated propagator, which sits on top of my PC tower (always on) looking out of a south facing window.. All sprouted, all going well. Pretty much everything is on their third set of true leaves. I got a small CFL grow lamp i put them under just for a couple of hours a day when it has been dull, to stop them stretching.

I also a couple of days ago sowed some random russian seeds,
A yellow kind of strawberry
A less hot pepper
A proper cherry tomato plant (micro tom is really kind of pathetic)

None of them have sprouted yet.

EDIT: Oops, sorry i forgot this was veg forum!

Third time lucky - I've just sown sunflowers again as the second lot have also been eaten by slugs. They won't find them this time - they're on the bedroom windowsill!

Like mothhawk, I've learned my lesson after two tries. In my case, the second tray of pea seeds that have been neatly dug out and eaten by mice.

The tray has moved back inside with me, and I'll watch them here until they're all sprouted.

Apart from resowing all my peas, I've also sown 3 kinds of tomatoes (tigrella, marmande and pink brandywine thanks to the VSP!), cucamelon and two types of sunflower.

Boyfriend repotted a whole bunch of previous tomato seedlings (red pear and san marzano) as well as a few peppers and some brassicas.
A busy evening!

Are they germinating for you?

[catgirl]

I sowed some PSB two days ago - cardinal and red arrow. Got my rudolph PSB seeds through today (I've never grown it before, hence the waiting for seeds!) and was surprised to see that it says not to sow for another month at least. But who am I to argue with the packet.

I've down some dwarf French beans todayon the windowsill. Tomorrow I'll sow some beetroot and Fennel.
