        • I was cleaning the kitchen corner about a month ago & there were a few loose flattish seeds that I tidied away (there’s always seeds in that corner where I’ve lost the packet & they’re in pots etc,but one seed somehow ended up in the washing up bowl overnight,the opposite side of the kitchen,I cleaned it & planted it & it’s grown into this,it might be pumpkin it’s quite exciting

          • Yesterday sowed herbs in pots. Chervil,my namesake and parsley. The parsley was Mr F’s Optigro. It looks as though it is stirring already. Unlike the seed I sowed a month ago.
            Also sowed parsnip at allotment. Fresh seed 2 x 5’ rows.

                    • Hello all!

                      What can i sow between my onion set rows?

                      I feel like it's a lot of wasted ground space and covering it with something will help suppress weeds. Advice welcome!

                        I sow quick growing crops like lettuce and radish, they won't take too much nutrients away and are eaten before they get in the way of the main crop.

                        • Just sowed some Parsnips and peas in the raised beds, under fleece still as it still gets cold at night.

                          • The last 15 telephone peas germinated so they've been sown in loo rolls as spares rather than in guttering like the rest.
