    Wizard field bean
    Sutherland kale
    Leaf Beet chard
    D' Eyesines fat carrot

            1. Peas
            2. Broad beans
            3. Baby corn
            4. Spring onions
            5. Caulis/Romanesco
            6. Courgettes/Squash
            7. PSB
            8. Carrots
            9. Mange tout
            10. Radish/Mooli
            11. Lettuce
            12. Oriental leaves
            13. Salsify
            14. Tomatoes
            15. Radicchio
            16. Wasabi rocket, red mustard etc
            17. Chard

            19. Sutherland Kale
            20. Kohl rabi

            Brussels sprouts if we have room, but maybe not, since I've just ordered a vast number of seed potatoes


            I've only sown toms, spring onions and salsify so far and have already run out of windowsill/dining table space (too many pots of sweet peas, apple seedlings and honeysuckle/rose cuttings ) so may have to wait a while for the rest. Maybe till the outside temperature rises above zero...

                I crumbled and started soaking some peas (Nairobi and Oregon Sugar Pod) and broad beans (Crimson Flowered, Karmazyn, Red Epicure, and The Sutton) this morning.
