Toms, peppers, cucumbers, chillies, melons, spuds, onions and garlic, all in pots indoors and all except the melons are going well.
Daft really as I know that some wont make it but spoke to the boss earlier and I think we may be in for a bumper crop. Doh, what have I said

I haven't planted anything yet - no plants to plant, yet.
But I have sowed some seeds ... sweet peas and onions. Taters are chitting nicely on the windowsill.

i've sown loads and loads of seeds in the greenhouse - will be sowing loads more over the next couple of weeks ... and planted a cranberry bush that i got from aldi in a tub

Had broad beans & garlic planted out since just before Christmas.
Planted(sowed?) some JAs in garden(not lottie)
Will start off most of my seeds in about two weeks.
I still have winter onions & cauliflower growing in the lottie.

My hands are still in my pocket and the seeds are still in the packet another 10 days i think jacob

put shallots and onions in the ground today. red cabbage and lettuce seeds in g/house. toms in heated propagator. parsnip seeds in loo rolls

I noticed in Wilco's that they had punnets of six little growing tomato plants and seedling of strawberry plants!

Alpine strawberries, chillies, sweet peppers, aubergines, basil, corriander and some ornamentals. Some of the chillies, peppers and aubergines have already been potted on from their original newspaper pots and have got two good sets of leaves. Went to the garden centre today when it was raining and was pleased to see that mine looked better than the ones they were trying to flog for 60p each. By the way, if there are any mods about, can we have a smiley thing (or whatever they're called) for "smug"?

Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

toms [5 different types mostly earlies], peppers, carrots, celery, beetroot, peas, beans, coriander, onions from seed, some other herbs,

Pots and oca chitting nicely

Was going to sow some more seeds today, but decided to put it off until the stuff in the heated prop is all up. but as these come up they get repotted on and put on the windowsill.

onion sets/garlic/shallots went out in nov and some went in pots and are going into the main beds in batches every few days.

My carrots have just appeared up the lottie 1st and 2nd early's in the ground, tomatoes,aubergines,chilli peppers,sweet peppers and cucumber in the propagator onions,cauli's and cabbage and peas in the greenhouse

Thats what I thought I am a bit behind I might try some tomatos next week in my prop.

I have peppers, tomatoes, aubergines, leek, lettuce, broad beans, cabbage, brussels, some herbs - testing ut the new propagator.....most ok though the cabbages are getting leggy, not sure why, to warm maybe?

Not starting my toms off till mid March. Not worth it - no heating in the greenhosue and they'll either get leggy or frosted. I have sown a few chillies and sweet peppers and my onions from seed are just beginning to stand up. I've done the sowing too early thing before. Even if you get away with it your plants aren't as strong as those sown when the days are longer and lighter. (And the frost less likely)

Itchy fingered Mr D has planted some toms, peppers, chillies and cucumber in the heated propogator, we've some onion from seeds just beginning to stand up, some cabbage in the greenhouse in pots, have garlic and onion sets overwintering on plot 1, and will be planting out the chitted first earlies and some more onion sets today. Most of the rest of the seeds will be planted over the next month or two in pots in the greenhouse. The rest of the spuds will be going in at easter! Still very early to be sowing, but we got away with it last year and had good crops despite the poor growing season!

I've not started any seeds off yet either Flummery, I don't want to have too many plants fighting it out on my window sills until it gets a bit sunnier.

I've not planted anything either, started early last year and ended up with no where to put all the seedlings (no greenhouse). I also found the seeds sown later produced much better plants.
