Seed sowing thread 2018

[Small pumpkin]

Baby salad Californian mix
Lettuce salad bowl red & green
Peas for shoots
4 varieties of radish.
some of the radish will be left to go to seed. Just read in a gardening mag that immature green seed pods are good in salad "deliciously succulent & mildly spicy". Got to give that a go.

Feel like i'm behind this year. Only sowed tomatoes and chillies. Still to cold to sow anything outside in the growhouse. Ive normally got some brassicas sown by now.

[veggiechicken]

33 varieties of tomato.

[self-contained]

I resowed my red-veined sorrel as I only had two seeds germinate from my last attempt. I think I kept the soil too wet (over-compensating for last year when I killed half my seedlings by letting them dry out).

I was going to resow my winter lettuce mix (originally sowed very optimistically in a container outdoors 33 days ago) but I brought the container indoors and there are actually some seedlings just emerging. It is possible they could be weeds as I think I used repurposed compost, but I will give them the benefit of the doubt. I'll be succession sowing anyway, so I'll sow some more in a week or two and hopefully by then, it will be clearer if these are what they are supposed to be!

I have pulled out the flower seeds that got decimated at seedling stage last year (didn't get a single flower). Have indoor sown (in modules/loo rolls):

Pansies
Sunflowers
Gazanias
Sweet peas (two varieties)

Not too bothered if none of them come up, but it seemed a shame not to give them a try.

[Artisan]

33 varieties of tomato.

I can't read this thread, it's inducing panic...

*Repeats to self: it's cold up here, don't need to sow yet...

First tomato seeds gone in today.

Bit later than usual, but chilli seeds have been delayed by cold weather so I've been waiting for room in propagator.
