Just being nosey!! ;)
Today, I am mostly sowing....
Fennel, sorrel, lettuce, honesty, foxgloves, cauliflowers, khol rabi, garlic chives, parsley, basil..........and I need to find some more flower seeds for a bed edging, haven't decided yet! ;D
Am sowing now. more lettuce. beetroot and cabbage.
Still sowing pretty much the same things I was sowing a month ago, and will be doing the same until September. The only things I don't sow now are chillis, peppers, aubergines and toms.
Most of above plus Icelandic poppies and sweet willies.
same as above and chinese leaves :)
The seeds I got from the seedswap at Barnsdale- pumpkin, squash, mangetout, basil, rocket, salad leaves.....
The seeds of love! ;D ;D ;D
January King Cabbage and Dwarf French beans to follow the first earlies...
Oh and Some Salad Burnett but it is old seed so not expecting much...

thanks, saddad, forgot about the french beans, they're going in the container we've just emptied the early spuds out of :)
Given me some ideas! Icelandic poppie sound nice! may try some chicory, we had a lovely chicory/ endive bed but keept admiring it going awwwww every time we passed it, it really did look sooooooo pretty but you've guessed it all bolted, so sorry everyone who sent me seeds! we had visual pleasure not taste!!!!!
I am sowing minature and small tomato plants for a cold season experiment,XX Jeannine
I've popped in some more dwarf and climbing french beans, runners and also some sweetcorn (I think this is a bit late - but I had poor germination earlier so I thought I'd try for a few more).
And I want to sow some beetroot too - but I'm not sure where I'll put them on the Allotment!

Jeannine, I planted out the last of the tomato plants today & one of them is a redcurrant, I think from you via the seed swap, it's got little tiny leaves & little tiny flowers - it's sooo sweet. Is that the sort you are experimenting with?
Hi Marymary, yes I think you did get that from me,and no it is not what I am planting.
I am planting tom seeds of very small plants,I have grown them inside during the winter now and again but the size has always been a headache,so I am trying really little plants that will go on a windowsill and under a light when needs be.I enjoy the challenge and it does work if I put in the effort.Sometimes a bottom shoot from an older plant does it.
The red currant is a bit different,it is a completely different family to the other toms we grow and it will cross pollinate with other tomatoes,it won't hurt the flavour but watch it if you are trying to keep seeds. It has a strong tomato flavour on very tiny fruits, the plant can get very big and loaded.
Good luck with it, they are sort of sweet and tart at the same time, more like a wild tomato.

Runner beans, lettuce, foxgloves, basil and coriander today. What a lovely day it was too.
Florence fennel, Bright Lights chard, cavalo nero, spinach beet and two types of leetuce this weekend in trays/modules/pots in the greenhouse, plus more salad leaves, radish and beetroot direct into the ground at the lottie. And hopefully, any biennial flower seeds I can get seeds of at Sarah Raven's open day next weekend...
Cheers,
Rob ;)
Successional sowing all the stuff that takes you through the summer - beans, lettuce, beets etc. Specials from the seed swaps. Also going to try a late sowing of sweetcorn today - a fast maturing one as the mice had my last lot.
Also going to go through my seeds for later sowing for winter - i.e. swedes, winter spinach etc.
So going to have a right good potter :)
Just put in the french beans, green and yellow, and in my last bed I shall put in some late carrots, beets, some more potatoes (a bit experimental that) and I am leaving a bit of space for some cabbage plants). That is planned for this weekend then the garden will be complete and I can start weeding, hee hee.
HI
Having just planted red cabbage, white cabbage, leeks & onion ( grown from seed ) on the plot. All my chinese veg are ready to plant out i just need to finish preparing the bed.
I am planting the last of my runner beans, some little pumpkins both from barnsdale in the mini greenhouse.
When i went to plant them up i found my atlantic giant seed had popped up over the weekend when i last checked it ;D So i have that out hardening off. YIPPIE
I have one row of swede in and i am going to plant the second in situ.
Beetroot, Lettue, endive and spring onions are all sprouting on the plot so more salad crops will go into seed trays in about 10 days.
Just looking at what else i want to sow as i have room for 2 and a half more trays having looked at what everyone else is planting it reminds me to sow Kale, Kohl Rabi, mini sweetcorn as first lot failed.
Looking at my box i need to work out what else needs to go in :)

Very relieved to see people are still sowing things - I thought I'd left it too late. :)
