Do you have any wildseed?

[mattwragg94]

[DD.]

The OP is obviously looking to get out of the house & away from his swamp duck!

[mattwragg94]

wild seed what type of crops are you looking at growing in your polytunnel this year?

[shokkyy]

I've started off some early spuds in my tunnel today, with some fleece over the top of course. I've also sown lettuce, radish, spring onion, mangetout, kohl rabi in there. And I've got a few strawberries in there for early fruit.

I've also started off my onion, aubergines, sweet pepper and chilli seeds, but all of those are in the house right now. I'll be moving the onion seedlings in the tunnel fairly soon, because the temperatures are getting up nicely in this area. And I'll be starting off my tomato seeds next week.

my thermometer said 31C just now, but also showed the minimum overnight was 0C.

So there won't be much going on in my greenhouse for a while

i wish i had the same patience as you MOS, as soon as the seeds are in the shops i can resist the temptation to sow.

As you get older & wiser, you learn that patience is one of the main ingredients to successful growing.

[mattwragg94]

to be honest i dont think i'll ever be patient.

[mumofstig]

If you carry on losing plants in one way or another, you do learn not to sow too early.

Yes, the odd thing or 2 - but you will know the chances are you may lose them, but you do it on the off-chance you'll be lucky now and again

In the past week I've sown early peas and lambs lettuce in mine...

[Lady Rosemary]

I have broad beans planted which were sown at home under light and warmth, then hardened them off in the conservatory (as there is no heating in there  ).  Also planted some round seeded peas there which I also sowed at home.  I think the only problem I think I may have is the darn rabbits on the plot behind us .... they have a ruddy warren underneath their plot for pete's sake! 

So am going to visit the tunnel at the weekend to see if they are still alive or whether the darn rabbits have got to them.

I reckon I may be sowing more seeds this weekend.
