What are you sowing now?
« on: January 11, 2013, 17:25 »
It won't be long until the season is upon us and I was thinking, what's everyone sowing now, if anything?

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Thinking about sowing onion seeds, but even that hasn't turned into any action yet!
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

Onions.  Sowed them the other day and they have just started popping up. :) And mushrooms, they aren't doing anything. >:(

Sowed a few chillis just a moment ago, not many this year but couldn't resist growing a few!

Onions, spring onions and salad (springies and salad because I have a lightbox and want to use it).  :)

Think 6 different tomato types, 2 types of leeks, parsnips ready to be sown and onion set ready for planting.

Soon to locate the turnips, swede and peppers and start them off, maybe carrots direct in the ground.

Garlic went in last year.

Pototoes will be in containers when they appear at the shops/garden centres.
