Progress as per below, thinking there a bit leggy.
Moved to sunnier window sill, ideally wanted to get them in the greenhouse this week but its not up yet.

No action from the chillis or strawberries yet.

Thanks.

Sowed some red torpedo onions in a pot yesterday and put the pot on the bedroom windowsill. The rest of them I will sow direct into a seed bed later on in the year.

Finally got my tomatoes sowed yesterday

6 each of :

Maskotka
Blush
Black icicle
Golden sunrise
Gardeners delight (saved seeds from my mega truss plant)

Might get some flowers started this weekend. Going to need to get my greenhouse cleaned soon though. Just not had time so far this year

Sowed them on Monday. And most of them are up Already

I've had to dig my growlights out of my shed to try and stop them getting too leggy

My phone tasks app told me it was the day to sow some summer cabbages indoors, so I dug through my seeds box to find the seeds I was sure I had. But alas, I found none. Not sure if I used them all or have misplaced some. However, I was determined that cabbage seeds would be sown today so have walked to B&Q and chosen from their (rather paltry but expensive) selection. I have now sown some Roodkop (red) cabbages and some Cuor di bue grosso pointed cabbages. No idea what they will be like, but I'll give them a go.

After I got home, I reflected that Lidl is probably closer and probably had a better selection of cabbages at a much cheaper price, but there we go. Must resist the urge to pick some different ones up from there as well when I do my grocery shop!

500 Kelvedon Wonder peas in guttering, 200 Golden Bear Onions and 24 Golden Acre cabbage.

That's a nice mixture.
We get sunflower seeds meant for sprouting and eating, from a healthfood shop and sow those. Really inexpensive and since they come from field grown crops they are short enough not to need support. Make great cut flowers.

3 types of radish under cover along with some carrots (Amsterdam forcing) and some bright lights chard.

will have to look out for some next time I go in... sound like a good idea as him indoors insists on sunflowers ever year.

A month ago I ate a pear which I really enjoyed.I kept the 'gowk' and finally got round to taking out the seven seeds and sowing them in a pot on the windowsill. It was probably an F1 pear but I will just see what comes.

[Babru]

Three more tomato Tiny Tim, as I dropped the pot and broke the stems of two out of the three I was potting up last week .

Chitted some saved broad beans from the Jubilee Hyser and Bunyards Exhibition planted last year.



Then sowed into card rolls. I've put the tray on a windowsill and once they start showing will move them outside into a blowaway.

[mcdood]

Sowed a tray of mixed salad leaves, 20 delicacy white Kohlrabi, 20 greyhound cabbage, 20 Delight Ball cabbage, 40 modules of boltardy beetroot, 30 modules of white lisbon spring onion. Stuck another 12 chitted broad beans in modules.
