Yes, she's fine. More worried that her daughter or son will find out that she's been cutting hedges when she's been told not to! I've been sworn to secrecy.
Today I sowed Rainbow Chard and perpetual Spinach in modules in the GH. Also old Winter Radish and Turnip seeds in the veg patch.
The radish I sowed 2 weeks ago is galloping away.

You've spurred me on, I might sow some chard for putting in the gh after the toms have gone. None of my overwintering experiments have succeeded yet so I'm not hopeful.

Don't forget some Bijou mangetout for overwintering - and lettuce, landcress and rocket.

Bijou didn't work last year, it has been well and truly frosted the last two years running. Rocket? Can't stand the stuff and I'm not running up the garden in the winter for lettuce leaves we just don't eat them.
Yesterday I sowed Flower seeds - Cerinthe, Calendula, Cornflower, Nigella and Escholzia (in modules) for the G&G Floral Bouquet Project. (£30 saved)
Today I sowed Curled Cress in a tray, Rhubarb Chard, North Holland Redmate onions, Pak choi, Mixed salad leaves in modules) and Radish in a pot in GH1 for the Not the Pot G&G Club. (£40 saved).
Sowed Cress, Greek Cress and Broccoletto for microgreens.
Sweet Pea Old Fashioned Mixed (Johnson's)
I tried autumn sowing sweet peas a couple of years ago and it was a disaster as the seedlings were all eaten by mice or pulled out by birds. Anyway, I'm trying again, hopefully I'll be able to protect them better and have success.
No exactly "sowed" but I planted some turmeric tubers in pots today.
In order to save £20 on my Not the Pot gang subscription, I sowed lots of old alpine strawberry seeds, some almost as old Giant Winter Spinach and some relatively new Garlic Chives. They're the only ones that may grow - the others are probably past it - but I've given them a chance.
