Roots, Shoots, Fruits and Leaves!

[veggiechicken]

Today its Friday and that means Flowers
Better find some Hardy Annuals to sow, quickly!

PS ALL of last weeks Roots seeds have germinated - even the carrots I'm a very happy little chicken

[veggiechicken]

Its Fruits week

Time to get fruity
This week I will sow a few Bijou mangetout and DFBs to grow in buckets in the GH. This is an experiment - not recommended if you can't accept failure

Sow a tray of peas for peashoots using some old seeds.

Pot up some of the self sown tomato seedlings that are appearing in the GH - another gamble!

Take some cuttings of blackcurrant, josta and worcesterberries, whist pruning.

Update:-
All of the Roots week seedlings are up and some of last week's bunching and Welsh onions are showing.

Just testing!!

[veggiechicken]

Last day for playing with your "fruits"
This week, I'm experimenting with peas and beans.

I've sown 7 seeds of each of the following in pots in the GH - 7 seeds = one for each day of the week. Seemed to make sense at the time
Wizard Field bean
Mascotte DFB
Pantheon CFB
Bijou Mangetout
Twinkle pea

On "Friday is for Flowers" Day I scattered some mixed hardy annuals including Candytuft, Godetia, Escholtzia and Limnanthes around the flower beds.

Getting excited for Leaves week starting tomorrow

[Jay-ell]

So tomorrow you can plant them all again as pea SHOOTS

[veggiechicken]

Its LEAVES tomorrow - that's a load of cabbage and lettuces according to my taxonomomomonotony

[Jay-ell]

So what are the shoots if they're not leaves?

[veggiechicken]

^^^^

Its LEAVES week, not Shoots/stalks/stems week.
Just focus on LEAVES and LEAVE the Shoots out of it

Today I planted out some lettuce seedlings into the GH and tonight I'll be finding some seeds to sow another batch. Also some brassicas and mixed salad leaves and........????

[Penellype]

Spinach perhaps?

[vixylix]

cress? I wanted to say chard but I'm not sure if that is a shoot
