It was beetroot day today. Golden Eye, Touchstone Gold, Choggia, Cylindra, Bolton, Crosby's Egyptian (what a name!)
Finished sowing the chitted B beans, but not enough had sprouted to finish the row/s. If the unchitted ones don't pop, now I've put them in the airing cupboard, I may have to buy some! I was sure I had some more save B bean seed but I can't find them.
Peas sown today. It is very cold and wet out so nowt else done (except pull up a couple of parnips to go with some roast potatoes and sausage).
I squoze about 750 seeds into 5 seed trays, hopefully enough for about 60' of rows.
“Squoze” - love it.
Going to use that myself in future!
Sowed quite a lot yesterday; cabbages and cauli, squash. cucumber, courgettes, 29 different varieties in all. I might need to be rather selective when planting them out if they all hatch.
The remaining B beans did chit in the warm but I thought it really cruel to put them directly in the cold ground after being in the airing cupboard, so transferred the beans with 1" long roots to a seed tray in the gh for a few days until this cold snap passes.
I sowed a few more broad beans "Bunyard's Exhibition".
Today I have sown:
Pak choi
Gazania Splendens
Aquilegia McKanas
Cornflower Blue Ball
Kalettes
Sweet mace
Red orach
Spring onion White Lisbon
Onion Tosca
Cucamelon
Tomatillo Verde
Sweetcorn Earlibird x 40
All because it decided to snow when I had time to go outside lol
The first of my pre-chitted parsnips.
Beetroot (just four multi-sow modules as I'm planning to succession sow, but I'm already itching to sow more!)
Chervil
Nasturtiums (second sowing of these, with the first just starting to emerge)
