A potful of leeks (Carentan 2).
I sowed some saved flower seed, trouble is I have no idea what it is. It might be gazania but if so I'm not hopeful of its viability. Life is full off surprises.
Resowed some lobelia, coreopsis, rudbeckia and a single courgette to keep in a pot, it's far too early for outdoor ones. Put some manky pea seeds to chit and soaked some broad beans.
I sowed some "Valentine" sunflowers and some "Tendergreen" dwarf beans. I know it's very early for the beans but I was wondering where to put them and thought of using a container, bring them indoors each evening and see if I get an early harvest.

We shall see!

My last tomato made an appearance today, "Brad's Atomic Grape", so that's all the tomatoes germinated and growing on.

Wow that's a lovely list of flowers NG! I bet that kept you busy for a while!

I love the look of the cobea scandens, and I had it in my garden the year before last, but my goodness, once it took hold it went MAD!! And not very many flowers.. just miles and miles of vines growing all over. It gave me loads of material for the compost, but that was hardly the point. Keep it contained Smile

I've had to search for so many of the names you've listed, and.... I think I need to buy more flower seeds lol
Sown today

I didn't sow anything, but wrote on all the labels again. And I did make note of stuff that need to be re-sown that have keeled over in the greenhouse. We must have had a cold night at some point.
Two rows of parsnips.
