The Seed Sowing Thread - 2017

[Snoop Puss]

Been sowing lots of spring onion recently, just from shop bought ends of bulbs once used up, they've grown remarkably well in just a week, hoping I get some off them.

Hi Sappidis, can you describe your method? Are you planting the tops and tails that you cut off the onion?

Just some Radish seeds this afternoon, only grown for the pods because to me they tasted nicer than the radish roots.

Having failed with most of my chillies in the winter, I'm planning on trying to grow some now with a view to over wintering them in the conservatory, is this also doomed to failure?

I'm trying the same with tomatoes.. I can't see any reason why it shouldn't. I will also try with chillies. Good luck!

For some strange reason, I thought you were veggiechicken for a moment, greenshoot. Can't for the life of me think why!

It's just rained/raining lightly here so I cleared a few little weeds & sowed more Marvel of Four Seasons Lettuce & Gustav's Salad lettuce in some gaps near tomatoes & beans.

I'm now harvesting summer cabbage(Golden Acre Primo, I eat that like lettuce) and Romanesc Cauli so will soon have some room, thinking maybe sow a few winter cabbage that'll stand.
