I sowed a few pots today.

Lettuce "Salad Bowl Red"
Lettuce "Reine Des Glaces"
Cauli "All The Year Round"
Mizuna
Cabbage "Attraction F1"
Cabbage "January King 3"

These will sit in the cold greenhouse to germinate, except that the lettuce will spend the night in the fridge first to make sure they wake up.

Also I put some more sweet corn out to chit, "Sweet Nugget F1".

Put self-saved Scarlet Emperor runner beans and new Firestorm runners to soak overnight ready to put on kitchen roll to chit tomorrow. it must be time, my morning glories have been out in the ground for a week and are fine.

I refuse to believe no-one has sown anything for 3 days

I meant to get all my beans, squashes, peas and pumpkins sown during the week but then got so busy digging the beds before the forecast bad weekend weather arrived that it was Friday night before I knew it! Beds are all done now though and I am off work for a week so definitely getting them all done Monday
