Chard, spinach and more kale I only ended up with 3 seedlings from the last sowing.
A couple of tomato seeds in the airing cupboard to chit. My others will probably germinate tomorrow.
I'm trying this chitting thingy too - Hunter CFBs and a couple of other beans, plus some courgettes. They're in the propagator as I wouldn't find them in the airing cupboard!

Perfect time to sow them. I find that they sulk in pots if sown any earlier, I'm doing mine this week.
They have started sprouting!

These are very similar to “Burning Embers” but taller.
Smashing for cutting.
Sowed some of Scarlet’s saponaria from the seed swap. Been wanting to try this for a number of years and not got round to buying any.
Cinnabar sprouting, Scarlet’s saponaria sprouting and Scarlet’s euphorbia mountain top sprouting.

I tried several times to get that euphorbia to germinate last year and didn't succeed. This seed is from Moles this year and Im pretty chuffed with the results ( though packs are huge)
I'm about to do a second sowing of several things just incase I get some space for the odd plant.
euphorbia
a bit late.... Ive found a couple of courgettes
aquilegia - saved from a friends garden
self saved foxgloves and some pam spli
