As mentioned put some sweetcorn to chit, 10 each of Wagtail, Swift and Honeydew Improved. Sowed some more courgettes Black Beauty, Verdi de Milano and Zephyr. Still thinking about the seeds from the seed swap.
Some salad crops mostly for picking young:
Lettuce Little Gem
Lettuce Mixed
Purple Spring Onion Lilia
Spinach America
Beetroot Multicoloured Mix
Chard Bright Yellow
Chard Rainbow Mix
White Satin carrots
A few cucurbits!
Tromba
North Georgia Candy Roaster
Atena Courgette
Patisson Gagat squash
Striato Italia Courgette
Waltham Butternut Squash
Defender Courgette

Hoping for better results this year than I did last year.
Sown some dwarf runner beans, 4 varieties of dwarf french beans, sown replacement sunflowers in all the empty cells.
When seed swap seeds arrived I sowed some valentine sunflowers & sweet peas. So so many more I wanted to sow.
A mix of old and new flower seeds scattered across an area of bank cleared (ish) of brambles.
I planted a load of perennials here last spring but only got a clump of michelmas daisies through the drought. This year I sprinkled on a couple of prairie mixes with added californian poppies, phacelia, annual poppies, aqualegia and random expired veg seeds so it'll be interesting to see what pops up. The soil is about 5mm deep on solid clay ...
Some Selma Zebra CFB from the seed swap just to see what they're like. Some Salad Bowl lettuce. Balmoral and Yellow Scallop patty pan squash for give aways, nextdoor but one is very fond of patty pans and this was a special request. Personally I can't be faffed with them.They're old seed so she might be disappointed. Some White Lisbon spring onions.
Sowed in Modules in GH3:-
Weggiser Mangetout
Oregon Sugar Pod
Roveja Wild Pea
Boltardy and Golden Beetroot (also sown direct)
Potted 5 Sweet Potato slips
Because of failures I’ve sown more kale and courgettes.
I’ve sowed courgettes again too.
