What will you sow first in 2016?

[veggiechicken]

My fingers are itching to sow something - and I'm sure I'm not the only one!
Share with us which packet of seeds you'll open first in 2016

Maybe you can't wait that long and Boxing Day will find you in the GH and a tray of compost?

[Bigmallly]

Monkey Nuts......................

[Alison]

Probably chillies, some time mid to end of Jan

[sparrow100]

onions, chillies, sweet peas and monkey nuts, at various stages through the month.

[Scoot]

Chillies and sweet bell peppers first, followed by onions.

I'm so desperate to sow something now. I really cant wait for the spring.

[unclefudgly]

Traditionally I nip down to the lottie on xmas eve to pick a few root veg for xmas dinner, and plant next years sweet peas, not too early and not too late!

[Thelma Sanders]

Onions by New Year, then later in the month sweet peas, early cabbage and peppers/chillies.

[Bren In Pots]

A pinch of spring onion seeds and some more lettuce.

[Bill Door]

Stop doing this to me!

Ok Shallot sets before New year. Have about 40 in modules and they will have to go out soon. Another 40 direct and another 40 in modules.

Zebrune onion seeds in modules, 40 before new year and another 60 after new year.

Leeks before new year in modules/pots.

Spring onions in a couple of pots
(notice a theme here!)

more onion seeds on modules, about 4 per module for pickling.

Will try winter density lettuce in modules/tray to grow in the kitchen window.

Everything will be sown or planted early next year.

Good luck all
feel tired already

As I happen to know I am getting a heated propagator for Christmas, I shall be coupling this with the Garland growlight garden I bought after glowing recommendations from Penellype and Potty and I shall be starting some Chilli seeds around the middle of January. I'll then be trying some Zebrune shallots and then around March it will be time to sow the tomatoes. Might fit something else in between too.

[muddled]

Banana shallots (in seed trays indoors) on New years day.

Also on new years day peas de provence....where depends on the weather, either sow direct up the plot or in modules in the unheated greenhouse.

[Nicos]

Probably self saved espelette peppers and also broad beans.

(I've already had my first look through the seed packets!)

[Scarlet]

Chillies for me, not sure on varietie I'll save the rummaging through my seed packs for a quiet moment in the New year. I've often sown a few cabbage in January too so I will give a couple of them a shot.

[Lumpy]

Since moving I have lost my big porch that I used as a greenhouse so it is going to have to be put on the window ledges indoors.

My pots and trays are washed and ready and OH has put a shelf up in the shed, it has a large window that will open at the top so.......

peppers first then aubergines and toms later indoors...

Dwarf broad beans, spring onions, winter lettuce and carrots in the shed Oh Oh and the wild sweet peas I snaggled from the other house....oh and pensemum, foxglove, aster and buddleia.
