Seed sowing thread 2020

[Teds Mum]

Sowed tomato seeds “the amateur”- it’s a heritage variety that is supposed to do well outdoors.

[Chippy Minton]

Definitely time to sow, Sycamore seedlings are sprouting in the lawn (despite "repurposing" all the Sycamores to firewood!). Spring has sprung and off we go (2m apart of course)....

[Teds Mum]

Today I sowed in the greenhouse celery, chillis, 2 kinds of tomatoes (gardeners delight and a yellow one) giant exhibition onions and some heritage leeks (American flag?)
On the allotment I planted 6 kinds of potato and sowed seed of parsnips (2018 saved seed), beetroot (boltardy) and spinach (violin)

[Vegi potager]

Last of the "March" sowing-
oregano, thyme sp. and large leaf, more Parsley both flat and curly, Basils sweet green, genovese and Greek. Some Phacelia.

Off to sort out the April box...

[Right Shed Fred]

Spinach (medania) - 3ish per module, one tray, first time growing spinach - quite excited.

3 beetroot seeds (boltardy) per module, one tray. More trays to follow later, probably one per month?

2 types of courgette, only 2 of each because I always end up with loads. One round / globe type courgette to try to get the kids to eat them without me hiding them in the food...

Some flowers (can't eat them, so bit boring)

To add to yesterday’s sowing list.
cucumber Carosello Medio Lungo Pugliese

Couldn’t add it yesterday. I had to google the variety as I couldn’t read the hand writing on the label.
only just remembered to do it.

[Mark Rand]

84 toilet paper rolls with two parsnip seeds each. 50% Gladiator, 50% White Gem.

[Teds Mum]

We were also using up loo roll tubes for seed sowing - 26 of them with peas “terrain” from the all in seed circle.

Yesterday sowed at allotment the last of last years parsnip seeds.

Parsnip have very short lifespan and should be discarded after one season. They take a long time to germinate and will be very erratic. If it was me, I'd sow some fresh close to the row you have sown.

[Scoot]

Sowed all my tomato seeds yesterday. My leeks and onions have germinated and are growing nicely.

Parsnips next sometime in the next week.

[Florence Fennel]

Leek, cabbage, cauli,peas and nasturtiums that I found unopened packet in a pot in the stayput!

[Florence Fennel]

Oh and some onion sets that have been waiting patiently for months. Put them into modules to see what happens
