You just would'nt believe what I have to do, shallots are going in soon, beets, leeks, lettuce and caulis on the go but not ready yet to go in.

I would Aidy well behind this year, prolapsed disc didn't help :roll: Trying to cultivate my 2nd plot and get the 1st ready too, glad they are next to each other.
At home I've got onion seedlings, leek, cauli, savoy cabbage, Toms peppers and chillis, so far need to get on with the rest.

I don't have a lottie, just a patch in the garden, already I have started in the greenhouse, cauli's, b/beans, cabbages, early peas, toms (3 varieties), peppers & 46 tubers chitting away nicely, onions, carrots & r/beans, lettuces & cucumber still to go!!!!! I may have already run out of space before I get them planted out !!!! ( Have just bought some vegetable patio bags in case !!!!) OH said a lottie would be too time consuming! :roll: I'm outside all the time anyway!!!

Hd full intentions of getting started this week, but the temperature has fallen from 15 to minus 2 this week and we've got snow! So much for the better weather we're meant to get!

That said, there are definate signs of life on the veggie plot - rhubarb, raspberries and the fruit trees are all budding nicely.

As for seeds, that's tomorrows job in the polytunnel

I must admit, I get quite anxious when I see my neighbours gardens already planted and think I'm lagging behind. Truth be told though, I had just as much success (and disaster!) as everyone else here last yer even though I was a good 2, if not 3, weeks behind.

I've got broad beans and cabbage growing away nicely in the greenhouse.

Also i've planted sage, basil, celeriac, more broad beans, peppers, pumpkins, leeks and beetroot.

However, they haven't germinated yet. And i'm toying with the idea of chucking the pumpkins before they've germinated as i planted 15 of them :shock: and i've since heard it's way too early to be planting them unless i want to be overrun by them lol.

I'm thinking of lots of different squashes/courgettes grown vertically instead

I've got flat parsley, curled parsley, basil and seetpeas growing so far, all sown on 13th January which was a little early but they are doing well. I still have some kale and red mustard growing in the garden and we have recently dug up and eaten the last swede.

I have promised myself not to do anything else until after Easter because we are going away and I don't want the little pots to dry out.
