Who's Planted Out What?

[JennieAtkinson]

Glad to be of assistance Bernie!

I've sown a few seeds tonight - runner beans, cauliflowers and cabbage. No great quantities, just getting started. I thought I might get tatties in tomorrow, but the ground is still claggy.

Actually I'll be busy tomorrow and Sunday as I'm doing a "tree planting" course. How to plant a shelter belt - Shetland style. Should be really interesting and something I really need to know about. Will let you know how I get on! Got to take a spade with me!

Being in London I would hope the frosts are all but done, but you never know.
Anyway.

Outside.
Onion (spring, normal and pickling), Garlic, Early tatties, carrots and new fruit bushes.

Inside.
Carrots, Beetroot, Peas, Cabbage, Peas, Leeks,

If only this weather would let me out for a couple of hours. Every time I go to step out the door, it rains. I still have 1/4 of the plot to dig in preperation for the main crop tatties to go in.

I have planted my first things!!!!

well right or wrong it was nice here today so planted my first things!!! put some potatoes in. didnt know how close so guessed and checked and was about right. also planted some onions

also planted some perpertual beet and some loose leaf salad but was a bit unsure about these with weather and stuff so will they be ok? should I cover them with some fleece as I bought 50m of the stuff?? forgot to take it with me though but could pop back tomorrow if i should be putting it on.

hi mrs b....good on you for your first plantings! i've planted loads over the last few weeks and i am more north than you, so hopefully your stuff will be fine! i've planted cut and come again lettuce, boltardy beet, spring onions, parmex and nantes carrots, radish, potatoes. last year I thought i'd put potatoes in too early, but they were fine. i think basically even if we are too eager to sow stuff, although the early sowing take a bit of time, most of it will be fine! it's good fun eh?

Broad beans, onion sets, radish, parsnips,carrots, potatoes,peas,cabbage are all in.
Really chuffed about the parsnips did a direct sowing just as I thought I'd have to start again the row appeared. Yippee

Coldframe: Cauliflower mini variety, Broccoli, Beetroot.

Greenhouse: Squash, Tomatoes, Lettuce, courgettes, leeks.

Propogator: Peppers, Sweetcorn, Augborines, Melon, Cucumbers.

Kitchen window cill: Runnerbeans and Frenchbeans.

Cabbage in a nursery bed with protection.

First attempt at runnerbeans and frenchbeans failed, so sowed some more, could be that the seed is too old, but got to try again as it may have been to cold. Just can't wait.

Most things coming on well.

I planted out my broccoli & cauliflower today and am keeping my fingers crossed. My parsnips & potatoes have been in the ground for a while and mange tout for a week or so... actually I planted them out the day before the snow and they seemed to have come through that okay.

[mrs baggins]

ooh glad I am not too early then. if your stuff is already out hopefully mine should be ok too. Its so exciting or I am such a sad individual I dont know which one it is!!

Carrot Frame

I have built a frame about 6 metres long by one metre wide with old window frames and planted out some carrots covered for now with bubble wrap, I am hoping this will keep out the carrot fly, it is about two foot high, when I take the bubble wrap off I have got some garden fleece to put over the entire frame, do you think this will work?

Sowed Broad beans, green beans, beetroot & peas Sunday 5th April. Peas broke the Saturday 12th! Put out tomatoes on the 5th but they've been hammered with frost & look a bit crispy, hopefully they'll pull through. Planted sunflowers indoors & outdoors in a cloche, indoor ones are already 40mm high in one week!

Carrots take a longer time in the cold than onions.
