Seed sowing thread 2018

Still got my carrots, PSB, sugar snap peas, runner beans, leeks and courgettes to sow.

Its snowing outside though so i'll have to wait a bit still.

Yesterday I sowed:

- mangetout (oregon and norli) into pots on the window sill
- calabrese and some more celery into the propagator
- little gem lettuce into the garden

Today I sowed
3 sisters x2
Carrots

Potted on tomatoes to separate pots, potted on cucumber to own pots, and finally chillis, onions, jalapeño and aubergine seedlings starting to make a appearance.

Sown in troughs yesterday onions, beets and marigolds.

Sowed my PSB today. Just ordered some new cabbage and swede seed as the ones i sowed didnt germinate. The seed was a couple of year out of date.

Still got loads to sow. Running late this year due to weather.

Today I sowed cabbages, calabrese, cauliflower, chard, spinach beet, and resowed tomatoes, chillies and peppers as the first batch are all covered in white mould...

Sowed spring onion. White Lisbon.

[Eric44]

Just sown 6 cabbage Candissa
6 sprouts Trafalgar (to replace an earlier sowing that failed to germinate)
6 sprouts Brendan.
The 6 tomatoes Mountain Magic and the 6 Super Marmande that I sowed on 16 th March are now about 4 inches high but stretching towards the light on the windowsill. I can't put them in the greenhouse yet, it's still too cold at night.

[bramble]

Hi Eric. Can you put your tomato plants in the greenhouse during the day and bring them back in at night.
That might help them from getting too leggy.

I sowed some chitted parsnip seeds. The daughter's bladdy cat dug up the first lot so there are lots of little sticks protecting these.

[muck lover]

Today I sowed PSB, Swiss chard, spinach, spinach beet and mustard spinach. And two courgettes two squash and a pot of basil.

[Eric44]

Thanks for that Bramble, I'll do it now.

Eventually got my carrots sowed into 4 big tubs. My swede seeds arrived as well today so i sowed them and threw my old seed out as they haven't germinated.

My Parsnip seeds have germinated in the little tub i have them in so i will be looking to get them out into the garden and in the ground soon. think it's going to rain all day tomorrow.

And as i sit here now i have just remembered i need to sow my leek seeds. So I'm away out there now.
