Sowed some more summer salad crops:
Beetroot multicoloured mix
Chard Bright Yellow
Spinach America
Lettuce Crisp Mint
Lettuce Little Gem
Spring Onion Lilia (purple)
Rocket
Cress
Sweet Basil
Dark Opal Basil
Some biennials:
Hesperis "Lilac"
Wallflower "Ivory White"
Foxglove "Sutton's Apricot"
Sweet William "Sooty"
Perennial Malva "Snow White"
Also popped three chitted Selma Zebra beans into pots. I'd previously sown these twice but had zero germination so I thought I'd chit them first as that worked well for the Gigantes. So far a 10% germination rate which is pitiful (T&M). In contrast, I've had 100% germination from the home saved beans I got from the forum.
Beetroot, fennel, lettuces, 3 sorts of dwarf haricot, leaf beat, basil.
Some dwarf french beans:
Anellino di Trento
Merveille de Piemonte
I've had some Selma Zebra beans start to sprout and ended up with 10 in total. I've thrown the rest away as they were starting to rot. 30% germination rate in the end. Poor show from T&M.
Sowed some Valmaine lettuce and some Rocket.
Would’ve sown some more dill, but can’t find the packet. (I need a seed storing system,).
Not grown dill before this year and have really enjoyed a few ferny bits in the salads, so shall be growing it in future.
Putting dill seed on my shopping list forFriday.
Sown mixed lettuce, salad bowl mix & Tuscany mix.
I sowed a few salad bowl too, mixed red and green.
Getting rid of old seed, beetroot, 2 lots of chard, spinach, and mustard spinach
A few Blauhilde French beans to replace slug eaten one's.
Sown some more salad / lettuce mixes. Re sown lovage & lemon balm . as the 2 of each that did finally pop there heads up got removed from there pot by Mrs blackbird today. Also sown some coriander & basil.
