Must get some nine star seeds, I keep forgetting. What is the flavour like?

[veggiechicken]

No idea - they're still seeds in a very old packet

Sowed my cucumber seeds today (all 3 of them) - variety Vega, which were superb last year. Really starting to feel like summer now

FINALLY....managed to direct sow carrots,beetroot,radish and plant red onions ( yep, it's rather late!) and shallots.
Got rained off , but how lovely to finally see the weed proof membrane off part of the potager at least!

Might nip out later and get a few more things in

[Stan79]

Sowed 10 more spuds so up to 20 now.

Transplanted a row and a half of peas and sowed half a tray more peas.

Other half has sweetcorn in it!

Progress. The weather is still forecasting a few colder nights and I promised myself that I would be more patient than last year... I think it's working!!!

More Curly Kale the first two sowings didn't come though so this is the last chance before getting new seed.

32! Didn't even know there were that many types of kale! I guess it must be your favourite!

Just planted into little pots all the different 'beans, and 1 pepper' that got from the 'Vine', last summer, I chitted them, and they all germinated, so we'll see, never done that before.
