I have started knitting a jumper :ohmy:  It is too damp and cold for me outside so it is not good for my seeds either!
Now what shall I do today?

Couldn't help myself...have started sweetpeas and beetroot in pots in the garage. Celeriac has sprouted in the propagator and is now living in the wet room.

I have parsley in the propagator too, but no show as yet.
I am champing at the bit to start the tomatoes but am going to wait a bit longer after last years awful weather.

I also sowed some spinach in pots on the patio where it is nice and sheltered and gets quite warm. Well the gardenia has flower buds on and is in the same place so I thought what the hell.

And I have started a small chicken quilted picture to do when I get too cold outside :)

Our chillis are under lights as we speak!

Keep checking in the propagator to see if the last of the sowings have entered the world yet...but no....

Started some chillies and sweet peppers in window sill propagator last week.  To be honest though these plants are destined to live on a South facing window sill for the rest of their lives so no hardening off worries for me there :happy:
For everything else I'm quite happy to bide my time, it's not unheard of for us to get snow and hard frosts well into May here :(

Planted my shallots today
All the way from my allotment in beautiful Derbyshire. I'm in year 3 of my allotment and wish I'd caught the bug years ago, things growing from strength to strength

Indoors - Kelsae onions, chillis, peppers a few 'experimental early tomatoes' (the same as last year ::) )
In the cold greenhouse - cabbage, sweetpeas, Welsh onions and Alpine strawberries.
Oh nearly forgot some salad leaves in boxes - I'm thinking of starting some early peas in tubs as well :)
Outside just garlic and a few elephant garlic bulbs

Broad beans and garlic doing well outside, sweetpeas sulking in ground.
Pea shoots cropping nicely on the windowsill.

Garlic planted yesterday, should have sown my onion seeds by now but haven't quite got round to it.

3-year old Cayenne peppers continue to fly the flag - they don't seem to know the meaning of winter!

Apart from that very small list - nothing, although I'm expecting to plant my shallots before the week is out.
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

I've done 5 varieties of onions, cos I felt like experimenting. The ones I started in the house are well up, but I've also done some in my unheated tunnel to see how well they'll germinate there.

I've also started off chillis, sweet peppers and aubergines. Next weekend I'll start off early mangetout and new spuds in my tunnel, plus maybe a few cabbages,  sweet peas, carrots, lettuce, radish. The garlic went in last autumn. I might start an early Parthenon courgette and some Gartenperle for my baskets, but the rest of the tomatoes won't go in till well into March.
