Seed sowing thread 2025

[Peanut]

Sowed adoration dwarf French beans and more Tom thumb lettuces, new seeds.

Six of my blauhilde seeds had chitted yesterday, and six more today, it's taken just 2 days and 3 days. That's the difference in fresh seed I imagine. I'll pot them up today.

The runner bean seeds I potted up and put outside I've had to cover with a cloche as the hen blackbird thinks the soft moist soil must be hiding a pot full of worms, and keeps emptying them out.

Sowed some old mamba and blue lake French climbing and firestorm runner beans. All old seeds so fingers crossed for germination!

I've sown my Bluilhild french climbing beans, they're now on a bedroom windowsill.

Chitting some French and runner beans, I'm still working through my old seed packs. If these don't spring to life I will ditch the old packs and sow new seeds. Also chitting a few more lark sweetcorn.
Sowed more beetroots and spring onions.
Sowed garlic chives, new seeds!

Put some Dwarf French Bean 'Annabel' to chit as a back-up plan in case none of my 3rd sowing of Climbing FB 'Blue Lake' decide to get off their butts & grow.

Said I wouldn't plant DFBs this year to avoid all the bending at harvest time when they taste just the same as the CFBs anyway - but that was when I thought I'd have no trouble with CFBs (never have before). Best laid plans & all that

[Peanut]

Sowed scarlet emperor and moonlight runner beans, climbing borlotto lingua di fuoco, haricot cocco bianco and lima o del papa and some rather late sprouts darkmar and groninger.

[Jungle Jane]

Sowed seven celebration runner beans yesterday & seven moonlight runner beans just now

I’ve just been sowing a tub of carrots sweet candle & in the soil sowed some nasturtium summer carousel seeds.

Finally put my very chitted dfbs in compost - they were like something out of Alien this morning

Dwarf beans Pfälzer Juni - My last attempt 2 weeks ago resulted in fairly poor germination (admittedly the package had been open since last year), so yesterday I soaked the rest for half a day and sowed them wherever I could find a space
