I've just mixed together all left over bits from various seed packets...lettuces, herbs, kales etc..and raked all in one large bed...so..what ever comes through is bonus,,and if nothing..well nothing lost..but I suspect I shall have feast of salad greens soon... ;D
I also seem to have several packet of freebie carrots..Parmex..so I've sown plenty of those too and there should not be a problem having plentiful crop as they are those stumpy-type carrots...I will sow some in buckets too...bit later on..to hopefully get really late crop in GH.

I've just sown some radishes, lettuce (Sympson, a frost hardy and heat tolerant variety, which is also delicious), land cress, a late variety Florence fennel, and some turnips for pulling small.  Hoping for some lovely late veggies from that lot!

I am doing Walla Walla onions in August.

Just sown some winter brassicas in jiffy pots to go out in a couple of weeks.

Planted 40 bean plants from 3 inch pots on our seed saving area for sharing in the spring with other lottiers.

Planted spinach, finger onions, lettuces and spring onions in my balcony boxes for autumn/winter.

Sowing tomatoes this next two weeks for growing inside over winter.
