Seed sowing thread 2018

[Bren In Pots]

Parsnips that I'd pre-chitted and some Mixed lettuce.

Time for my peas and beans to go in this weekend I think. Weather is looking up so reckon i'll dig a trench, put some compost in, cover it back over and sow my peas along 3 sections of my fence and the beans along 1 section.

After the past two years failure with bulb fennel, with it bolting and me getting nothing much to eat, I wasn't going to bother this year. As there's free seeds with this months magazine, I thought "what have I got to lose". I shall wait until later in the month and try sowing directly outside in a raised bed, as growing under cover has failed miserably. One question, would you sow them in the manured bed, or in with the roots in the composted bed?

[Scoot]

All peas and beans now in. Gave them a water in as well due to dry conditions.

Yesterday more pre-chitted parsnips and a pinch of spring onions.
