Hi everyone, I'm sowing the japanese/chinese leaf veg soon if the rain ever stops long enough ::)
I've recently sown rocket, mixed salad leaves, little gem lettuces, spring onions, radish, kale, spinach, mooli, dill & coriander.
I'm sowing into large plastic raised beds that I can cover easily if it gets very cold & they keep the soil abit warmer & also out of the flood waters (not too bad here yet but as I live very near a river I'm not holding my breath! :o
Indoors I've sown red broccoli, cauliflowers. Plan to sow April cabbages soon.

I visited Wisley on Sunday and was very struck by the little rows of mixed leaves all over the place, masses of them, tucked in among the beautiful vegetables. So I am planning to do a bit of that. The germination looked a little patchy, but there were so many little rows that it didn't matter.

Sowed some genuine spinach three weeks ago and that germination is really patchy. So I will give it the Wisley mixed leaf treatment for my next sowing.

Hi Artichoke, my spinach/kale germination has been very poor so I am considering sowing some in pots.
I much prefer to direct sow but it is so hit & miss this year :-\
I've sown loads of little gems in a seed bed so I can transplant them into gaps & will be doing the same as you sowing mixed salad leaves in between almost everything else with gaps  :D

Just sown radish, spring onion, carrots, hestia dwarf runner beans, something described as dwarf thin french beans, early PSB, Chinese kale (an oriental sprouting broccoli I think), more basil and watercress!
