Absolutely gobsmacked by the diversity. How many of each?

[calendula]

peas, lots of them kelvedon wonder + 6 varieties of aubergines + coriander + basil + lettuce + sweet peas 5 varieties - just the beginning of a frantic few months of sowing, virtually never stop actually

One of the great things about modules is its easy to sow 5 of this, five of that etc, you can get 8 varieties in a tray and know that each one is in its own seperate little bit of soil..... with four propagators that's 32 different things potentially in the props at once.... which is close to what mine will be in a week or so cos the main tomato/pepper stuff will be going in....

Hi Y'All

Glorious day here, been on lottie in short sleeves! 

Sowed:  Under fleece, carrots and coriander

In drills, rocket and chives, shallots

Under Cloches where I sowed peas last November I am filling in the 50% eaten ones with more Onward, still keeping under cloche of course. (Surprised ANY survied at all in the weather we've had)

Planted out my Autum and Summer fruiting raspberry canes into their final position.

Knackered, but happy.

Regards

Into the propagators went 22 varieties acros 120 modules.
Brussesl Sprout x2, celeriac, red cabbage, leeks, onions x3, oregano, parsley, pepino, calabrese chillis, Doogi (Dooli?), little gem, a sweetcorn viability check, frigitello peppers, kaibi peppers, and some other things I don't remember, plus in big modules just in the greenhouse, 100x meteor peas and 15x sutton broad beans.....

It's got cold again (annoyingly), otherwise I might have been tempted to put a few spuds in big pots too....

Nothing outside -although I dig up another couple of chicory roots for forcing.

Sowed for the propgators--even more tomatoes-why!!! I`ve given up,I want to retire,--oh well maybe the odd one or two for my regular customers or maybe a car boot sale??

[caroline7758]

I've sown toms and peppers today and put them in my heated propagator. Also sowed leeks in the greenhouse and sweet peas to replace all the autumn-sown ones I lost to the mice and the frost. Oh, and some herbs- basil, coriander and parsley.

[Sparkly]

I planted chillies, sweet peppers, a few dwarf cherry toms and sweet peas 

[Deb P]

Decided its still too cold to risk spring shallots, so potted the lot up in modules to root in the cold greenhouse. Having a major sowing session today and tomorrow, all the peppers & chillies are going into the heated propagator or the airing cupboard; brassicas & sweet peas in the unheated ones in the kitchen. Might do all the the tomatoes if I have time/space....but there is a lot of them!

IS IT TIME YET  ? ! ? ! ? !   


Should I , Shouldn't I .....  what ifs .....    It's all a new game to me but I am taking comfort in knowing that others, more experienced than myself, are asking the same questions.   

I live in Bristol so I expect that , climate wise, I have it milder than those up north.   I just can't make up my mind as to whether to get out there and plant the onions and potato now ... or wait a week or two.

 The sun is shining and I see blue sky - very tempting indeed.   Still, I could just get on with doing some more seeds in my cold frame I guess.  It's all going to help things in the end.

Chompin at the bit here.

[Sparkly]

Maybe I will put the a second lot of onions and garlic in today.

I think i'm getting too many frosts yet down here in Devon, they're forecasting frost for the next 4 days 

[greensausage]

Nothing outside yet, but have started various types of Leeks in trays and Onward Peas in loo roll middles in unheated conservatory, various chillies and aubergines in heated propagator and potatoes in tubs (keeping them indoors for now) 

[ajb]

Today:
Carrot Mokum F1 in a pot
Potato Mayan Gold, Orla and Pentland dell also in pots, with a dash of optimism

It all has to go into pots as the vegetable garden is in deepest shade until May!

[star]

Potatoes chitting here, but holding back on sowing seeds just yet, I only have a cold greenhouse. Not going to end up with a house full of seedlings.....again!!

So in a couple of weeks I'll get busy

[manicscousers]

cucumbers today and transplanting tommie seedlings 

[1066]

A few bits and bobs indoors like spinach, kohl rabi, artichokes, pak choi, indian mustard and some peas in pots outdoors
