This is what I have sown in the greenhouse over the weekend. I've painstakingly sown them one seed at a time apart from the the lettuce, as A T on the Gardening Channel says to sow them 3 at a time. I love to see them growing in neat little rows! Sad or what. ::)
Dwarf French Beans – Hildora
Lettuce – All Year Round
Calabrese – Green Sprouting
Leeks – Alora
Broad Bean – Aquadulce Claudia

today i have finally got my tiller out of the shed and turned the ground for my strawberries, here in bedfordshire the ground has just been to wet for anything but i can see the light now. in my propagator i have planted 4 different variety's of hot peppers. this is my first year for using a propagator so if anybody has any tips for me to do with anything about using it, well fire away. p.s if you like a little hot in your peppers there is a nice site called south Devon chili farm i.e.
www.southdevonchillifarm.co.uk
they are very quick to send out your order and have a real good variety of peppers. ok enough of the advertisement for someone i don't even know. have fun..dave.........

A gamble but, despite a sharp frost last night, & the 13th today, the forecast - & my bones - suggest that the time has come.
So, we're starting with lettuce, celery & parsley. And in small numbers in the hope that we will waste nothing in going to seed.
The 'no-dig-peat' compost is handling beautifully. But, of course, I'm comparing it with our usual
multi-purpose
stuff, in which there are always bits & pieces.

Must get on with some pretties! Have germinated in the gently heated greenhouse beetroots, 2 varities of sprouts, 3 varieties of leeks and 2 of spring onions. Winter aconites are putting on lots of growth (thanks Eric) and what was it you sent me DP...sticky seeds...well anyhow, they are going mad so have been pricked out and are looking fit. This week, will get busy!
In the conservatory, so underglass in a way, I have chillis, toms, aubergines, cucumbers, courgettes, celery, celeriac, parsley and basil all up. Also the children had sunflower growhouses which they did last weekend, and in just one week, they are now nursing 10 sunflower seedlings each!
