Seed sowing thread 2018

[HoneyChild]

I have sown the following into pots which are now sitting in my airing cupboard with a glass or plastic covering. All the seeds are starting to get a bit old so have no idea how they'll do:-

basil
margoram
parsley
sweet dumpling squash
telepathy cucumber
astia courgette
celeriac
stevia

Also 4 pots of self-saved hurst greenshaft peas which I soaked overnight. They are now sitting in the greenhouse

Finally made a start with dwarf beans and peas and some mixed salad

6 Biquino Yellow chillies - I know it's a bit late, but my Brazilian sister in law gave me these seeds, so I'm going to give them a go.

I read a lot about peas seeds being a problem with germination, some pointing the finger of blame at mice, so the Petit Pois that came with this months mag are now residing in a hanging basket in the greenhouse. They will go outside later, but for now the whole idea is sort of appealing, sure they can prosper hanging down just as well as going up the way, we will see.

The last of my Telephone and Purple podded peas these will be my spares and will probably get eaten as shoots.
Charlotte potatoes planted into recycling boxes.
