Can I turn the clock BACK about 10 weeks or so please? SO FAR BEHIND!!!!!!

Just found a bag under the bed with potatoes in!!!! Five each of Vivaldi, Rooster and Jazzy - all with long sprouts on them. Will put them in the ground and see what happens - they'll either grow or they'll not!

Also got a few other veg seeds to sow....beans, peas, squash (told you I was behind!)

I have things really late, too. Planted some courgette seeds, lettuce, spinach for baby leaves and really want to try to get some beans in.

Have I left it too late for runners or climbing beans do you reckon?

[veggiechicken]

You should be OK with beans until July. Give them a go!
I'm sure I've read somewhere, that, even if you already have beans, its worth doing a 2nd sowing in July to extend the season.

I sowed dwarf french beans and egyptian beetroot and they were up within 5 days. I've never known anything so quick, my boltardy have been up 3 weeks and still little slivers.
Next up is bee friendly flower seeds and a few herbs to get into the propagator. Never done herbs before.

Thank you! have got blue lake climbing beans and runner seeds. Plantung them tomorrow, decided that even if nothing grows it is no difference from if I;didn’t try!

Sow into the salad bar. Tuscan salad mix and red & green salad bowl.

After a total fail with my cell sown dwarf French beans, I decided on one last ditch attempt - I took two half-used, old packets of seed (Delinel and Stanley), mixed them up, threw them on a spare patch of ground and raked them in. Gave them a thorough soaking and we'll see what, if anything, happens. I felt like I was channelling VC just for a moment.
