The seed sowing thread 2014!!

[marcofez]

Hi Batman, if you were asking me, my toms are:
Shirley, hildares (lidl), gardeners delight, sungold, golden cherry, marmande, roma, sun cherry, black russian. A bit of a overkill but can't resist experimentin. All on the kitchen windowsill for untimate planting in g/h and out door and giving to friends

I can't help myself as well!

Ok, lets hear it, what have you sown that has been a little OTT? I'm thoroughly ashamed of myself, I only have room for 5 to 6 plants !

Yeah, I'm a sucker for too many seedlings too! But i just give some little plants to friends with balconies so they can stick them in a grow bag. I only need about 12 plants for the greenhouse...
But I might actually give marmande a try.

Sweet Basil, lots

[Dorothy rouse]

Today, bought more sweet peas ( white variety ) and sowed them in loo roll inners, these are a 'back up' in case my others have now been flattened by the hail and wind we had yesterday

Patty pan squash, yellow courgette, and zucchini, and tumbling toms, in unheated prop, on window sill, in unheated room.

Kale n suede!

Better think about some herbs before the weeks out!

Bedtime for "Bonzo"!

Sowed 4 types of beetroot, mesclun salad mix, twinkle peas, patio f1 courgettes, Russian giant sunflowers, 4 types of climbing beans and 3 types of dwarf beans. Need more herbs and flowers.

[batman]

Sowed more radishes, 2 types of beetroot (but have obviously been outnumbered by superlady ), and some more parsnips.

[Martin H]

Sowed Mesclun, Mizuna, Lettuce and Beetroot, then covered the lot with netting to deter the pigeons.

[Florence Fennel]

Four different types of Dwarf French Beans, not sure what they are, but I've labelled them Brown, White, Red and Mottled and kidney bean Scarlet Emperor. They're outside, but under the bench and under fleece.

[Cherry Blossom]

Two types of cabbage (greyhound and golden acre), two types of cauliflower (snowball and all the year round), Brussels (Evesham special and Bedford), runner beans (polestar), French dwarf beans (amethyst), French climbing beans (cobra), sweet peas (a mix of old seed collected), tomatoes (gardeners delight, Roma, yellow stuffing?, baby sweet, and one from a shared packet from my dad that begins with a T. haha!) and cucumbers (marketmore, telegraph improved and swing). This year is different to last year, as not only do I have help from my eldest (7years old), I now have a small helper who is nearly two! (He was more interested in trying to eat the soil and grass last year haha!)

[Richard Eldritch]

My 4 year old daughter is excellent in the garden! Her little fingers can sow one carrot or lettuce seed per station, instead of my half a packet.

[GardenGayle]

Later I will be planting some M&M's to get an M&M plant as suggested by my Growveg.com garden planner this morning...

Great this working from home stuff. In my lunch break I decided to sow some seeds.

So I've just sown some Poppies (two different types), again as my last tray of them blew over , 4 different types of kale, peas, salad leaves, basil more leeks and more onions!
