Some giant winter spinach in a tray, to be transplanted into the tunnel beds once the toms come out.

Corn salad, Lamb's lettuce, Artic King lettuce, Catalogna, Red leaf mustard, Mixed leaves and spinach. All sown for the polytunnel to use for salad leaves. I still enjoy a salad, even in the cooler months!

Similar to the previous 3 posts, I've recently sown some more rocket. I can usually keep it going in the cold greenhouse over winter, and be able to harvest some leaves year round even if things slow down during the winter months.

Snap! Did the same a few days ago. Sown in a tub in the greenhouse.

Today I direct sowed 12 broad bean Aquadulce in the tunnel bed - put some wire mesh down over them until they show, so hopefully the mice won't dig them up.
Sowed a small row of my own garlic from the best bulb of this year's crop - also meshed, this time against birds.

My Ailsa Craig onion seedlings have germinated.

I read somewhere you can sow them in the autumn so considering there is 1000 seeds in the packet, I thought I'd give a dozen of them a go and see what happens and if they fail, well, I've got more than enough seeds still to go again in the Spring.
