WINDOWSILL, VERY LARGE:
Seeds sown last week of Jan in warm (big!) windowsill and doing well are
Parsley both flat & curly
Dill
Coriander
Little Gem Lettuce
Lollo Rosso
Tagetes
Unknown seeds (??) but looking like more parsley
purple Basil
Tomatoes (about 6 varieties, will have loads of extras)
A week ago I put 1 X 6 different types of courgette/ squash in individual pots.
INDOORS BUT UNDER a kind a CLOCHE:I put the Chillis (Cayenne and Jalapeno) & peppers yolo wonder & California in a see-through plastic storage box to simulate a heated propagator and some of them are sprouting now.
HOT PRESS: I've put more chillis, 6 Sikkim Cukes (thanks to Mpdjulie!!) and three different varities of Aubergine (Bonica, Danuto & red Egg) in ordinary covered propagators in the Hot press. I take them out each day for a bit of light (I have no clue if that's the right thing to do??)
COLDFRAME ON BALCONY: Jan Outdoors in the coldframe I'm just seeing onions seeds sprouting now and some lettuce Mervillgli de inverno
March Musslebugh leeks and white lisbon spring onions
PATIO against a warm south facing wall: Chitted Colleen first earlies planted last week: Chitted Rockets (thanks to Corinne on Freecycle) going in a bag in same spot today.
Currently chitting desiree and maris peer and have main crop bought already
In raised beds: Planted sets of red baron onions and sturgeon (?) end Feb. Sowed Chanteray red cored, resistafly and autumn Giant Carrots next to them. Not fleecing or cloching as this is only second year trying this and I want to see what survives.
In the soft fruits patch (first time), 3 types of raspberries, 2 red currants, 2 gooseberries, an Apricot goes in near the existing cherry & plum.
Was going to start the beans & peas but I remember what happened last year, it's way too early and they did better planted out into the soil in May.
I'm sure you can tell at this stage how over eager I am! I'm lucky that I work 3 days a week from home so every coffee break and lunch break is spent in the garden or with the seeds. I badly need a greehouse as my next step but can't afford it at the mo so looking at second hand ones or on freecycle. If anyone hears of anything please send me a message!
