Cheers Manics, I sowed my celeriac on the 1st March in a tray on the window seal and haven't got a sausage showing yet. ;D ;D ;D

Amazing! And what a bunch of busy people !
More peas and some Summer Savory, a few Marigolds, pak choi, leeks, and NZ spinach

Think I'll make a start on some salads and herbs this weekend :) But I need to clear the windowcills for all these seedlings so we'll have to eat the last of pumpkins (they've been on the window cills all winter) ;D

If Metcheck is on the right lines, the high pressure which caused the cold weather for the last few weeks is moving off to Central Europe. I might put in some early spuds; they won't come to much harm underground.

I can't stand it any longer!! even though it is still a bit cold I have sowed PSB, green broccoli, chillies and toms all indoors in covered seed trays by the window.

Toms are Gardeners Delight (my old faithful), costaluto fiorentino, roma and 2 left over seeds of Old Ivory Egg (pale yellow plum tomato that did very well last year, very tasty).
Chillies are Aji Crystal, Cayenne, Numex Twilight, Fresno and Bulgarian Carrot.

Really hoping I can keep the brassica seedlings alive this year. Will do leeks next, then sweet peas.

Well i sort of replanted my peas and broadbeans and my toddler insisted on sowing some carrots so i let him do that.

I've got lettuce, onions and carrots already on the windowsill and am happy to see that the cucumber i sowed a few weeks back is starting to emerge!

really unsure about planting out my potatoes so i'm holding off for now, i dont trust this nice weather!

cornykev · « **Reply #72 on:** March 14, 2010, 18:10:07 »

The Sun 8) came back out and I went back to the lottie and planted 5 rows. ;D ;D ;D

"I might put in some early spuds; they won't come to much harm underground"

I forgot a row of potatoes over the winter and dug some of them up today, expecting smelly mush after snow and frost in East Sussex. Clean and firm and healthy! Not even sprouting....so go ahead!

Hi all,

Put some pea's, runner beans, french beans, celery and lemon grass in today.

Also couldn't wait and put some courgettes, butternut and pumpkin in - will have to wait and see if these take over the back bedroom. ;D

Chilli's and tom's growing well under lights. Holding off on my potato's as don't trust the frosts yet. Parsnips and carrots to go in tomorrow under cloches.

Before getting round to sowing I had two 'orrible jobs to do and these I finished in record time so that I could get sowing - such a gorgeous day, pity to waste it on 'orrible stuff.

Finally got round to re-doing my little raised salad and herb bed. Sowed rocket, chives, coriander and some lollo rosso lettuce, under a fleece cover. Then went home and sowed some meteor peas in modules to replace any failures that I am bound to get.

This coming week, I'll think about potatoes, only think mind, depends on what the weather does as to whether I actually plant any!

Robert_Brenchley · « **Reply #78 on:** March 14, 2010, 22:36:36 »

Planted the British Queen.

Put in broad bean seeds to replace the ones that never appeared. I don't think Aquadulce likes me. Only tried them as they had been highly rated on this site.
