I'm probably way too early - in my (unheated) shed I have sown Tropea onions, giant parsley, alpine strawberry, peas and sage. It's crazily mild up here on Anglesey. Got buds on fruit bushes, bulbs starting to put out shoots and still have strawberries growing - not ripening though.. The garlic is going nuts hurrah!

cat grass
cat mint
and 2 pots of cupani sweet peas

Must resist the desire to sow something for a little longer, at least until I get the grow station in the shed, sorted Alans Allotment Grow Light Station 2, still planning and seed sorting at the moment Alans Allotment: Rain Stops Play

Think I'll wait, we've not had winter yet up here, will resist the temptation to sow for a few weeks just yet.

Espellette peppers...about 20 of them...in a cereal bowl, on wet kitchen roll, under cling film,on a radiator...finally!

OMG!!!!

Thank goodness I've been checking them regularly..it clearly happened overnight!

The snappily named TSX 8516 onion (bunching onion - is that the same as Spring onion?)

[Lumpy]

Oi, you lot now just stop it............................I want to be a sow'n'sow as well but with dismantled raised beds, no window sills and a greenhouse still in its boxes in the shed....................maybe next month..............sighs in frustration and envy.

[vixylix]

don't worry lumps - I'm feeling left out too

[mothhawk]

Sowed some kale for micro greens, a few dahlia and lupin seeds, and JFF, planted the cut off bottom half inch root end of a leek, to see if it will grow, and give me a free flower, or better yet, another length of leek to eat.

[Scoot]

I planted my chillies and leeks yesterday. Today, I've planted ALL my tomatoes.

I knew this would happen once I bought my compost.
