Anything?
I've some peppers in the lit propagator that are about 2 inches high and some leeks that are in a seed tray about 3 inches high...
Anyone else?
-
I am planning on sowing some toms and peppers tomorrow but am expecting them to get to cold and die lol. A couple of days ago I put some strawberry seeds in a bag with wet kitchen roll on my windowsill hopefully they will sprout :-)
-
I'll be digging my seed box out this weekend.
-
I have chillies, aubergines, some early flowers and onions growing under lights - more chillies and peppers going in today, plus capers, celeriac, spinach & more aubs.
-
Just me chillies on the go at the mo, been in since jan 6th, decs come down and the grow tent goes up ;)
Next week is tommy time so will be sowing them.
-
Sowed the sweetpeas a few weeks ago, and half a dozen Hispi cabbage. This week 2 early tomatoes for the kitchen windowledge :)
The toms for the greenhouse won't be sown for a few weeks yet, and the outdoor ones, a week or so after those.

Hi
Tomatoes (15 varieties), chillis & peppers (7 var) , aubergine, numerous flowers, opal & lettuce-leaved basil, cilantro (3 var)..... all under grow lights.
Peas/mangetout (5 var), onions (red baron, barletta, feast spring onions, ishikura bunching, Simiane) shallots all hardening off outside or in the growhouse.
Sweet peas planted, onion sets planted, but carrots (Flyaway, Chantenay, and 1 other) sown 3 days again will either be growing webbed feet or be washed away by the time the rain passes over....

I was wondering if it's worth getting some early PSB and Romanesco going and then to sow another load in March/April? Won't they just catch up anyway? I always seem to leave it too late with the brassicas and they're are slow growing anyway.
Actually wrote a list of what we will eat rather than what I have in the seed box this year- I don't need 16 varieties of tomatoes!
Got some leeks started indoors to get going, may not bother with chillis this year as have loads in freezer/dried.
-
I'm sure i'll be agreeing with you about perhaps not needing 15 varieties of tomaoes by harvest time. This year is an experimental year for us, first time growing in the northern hemisphere, so everything is new and interesting.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
-
Onions, Spring onions, Wizard beans and sweet peas all off the mark and looking happy.
Aubergines and chillies for the propagator mid week, so one of my granddaughters can help with that job.
-
I have started sowing/planting this week - 2 varieties of onion sets, shallots, leeks, dahlia tubers, basil, coriander and dill.
The March sowing bag is very full and we are off to see our friends in France in 18 March, so I may have to start a bit early.
-
Spinach, salad leaves, cabbage, parsely and foxgloves in brand new greenhouse. First time sowing anything this early.
Ordered tomato and chilli plants on the grounds that I really only do have so much time!
-
... And she's off! Romanesco, psb (early and late) in modules at last 😁 phew that was a long winter.
Skirret showing and root chervil up too (early experiments, not main crops -don't count!)
