The Seed Sowing Thread - 2017

[Chris11]

Third sowing of marigolds, the first two lots just disappeared! New seed this time, so fingers crossed.

What type of Marigolds do you mean?
And disappeared? I've found slugs/snails seem to like Tagetes/French Marigolds.

I've got spare seeds for both Calendula/Pot Marigold and Tagetes/French Marigold as part of my seed giveaway if anybody wants any

Bronte and Nelson sprouts
Kalettes
All the tomatoes I'm growing from seed: Sungold, Floridity, Gardener's Delight, Cuor di Bue, Pantano Romanesco and Marmande, plus a couple of Garden Pearl for a friend. Will be buying in a couple of local varieties as plug plants (cheaper than buying seeds!)
Lemon Drop and Satan's Kiss chillies
Black Beauty and Jemmer courgettes

[burnie]

Still biding my time, depends on the weather forecast on Country File, if it's frost free, I intend to start some roots under the small tunnel this coming week. If greenhouse remains in plus temps, I shall start some golden acre primo and romanesq in seed trays.
