Twenty-four chitted sweetcorn seeds in rootrainers. They will stay in the kitchen for a few days until it's a bit warmer in the greenhouse.

[Bren In Pots]

Some more courgettes because a couple of those I sown on the 20th have failed.

I do love courgettes

A pinch of spring onions and I've put my parsnip seeds to chit.

And I've realised I've forgotten to do brassicas for Christmas - any chance Brussels sown now will get there in time?

Sparrow, this time last year my brussels only had seed leaves, and we were cropping from Dec - definitely had some for Christmas Day. So I would vote yes, a good chance.

2nd lot of beans. Mostly Dwarf beans as they did really well last year so I'm hoping to repeat the success.

Squash: Harlequin, Honey Bear, musquee de Provence, Burgess Buttercup and Crown Prince.

This week I have got onions, cucumbers, peas, beans and some prairie fire chilli bushes started off, and also my daughter wanted some cress so I helped her sow that too.. will be doing some coriander later and fingers crossed putting my Charlotte spud and garlic in today/tomorrow.

I'm a bit behind where I'd like to be but i'm sure it will all catch up to some degree, my main crop of chillies and toms are doing well as they went in a couple of months ago and are flying along nicely

Nipped to the plot in my lunch break and sowed a row of Sweetball turnips and some climbing beans - 10 Bluelake and 10 Trail of Tears, 2 to a pot.

[Jungle Jane]

Yesterday I sowed sweetcorn ovation & courgette romanesco on the windowsills & spring onions direct outside.

Sowed parsnips today, a bit late so we shall see how they do. Also sowed runner beans into root trainers and some flowers (Cosmos and Nastirtium).
Must must must get some more carrots sown but have run out of sieved compost and have run out of the will to sieve any more today!
