And yesterday....
Sowed white lisbon and ishikura spring onions in the yard
Sowed some chantenay carrots at the plot
Oooh I might take that as my cue (pardon the pun) to sow my cues and courgettes too! Eeeeeh!! It's spring!! (She says while the sun is shining while it's SNOWING again!!)
I was a tad concerned it was early given my lack of a GH but decided to give it a go anyway!

I have put them into very large trays so I don't have to pot them on, and I'm lucky enough to have a frost free space for them for quite some time. So exciting and maddening at the same time - it only snowed yesterday!

haha lots and lots of cucumbers... but it's because I don't have much luck with them. My thinking is... I have lots of seeds, and if they all survive and grow big, I can give them to people in the village, or have them donated to the flower tubs dotted about in the village to make them edible

This is what I sowed today, more exactly. I keep a record so that I stand some chance of remembering what I've sowed. I spend more time looking up and down that list in the potting shed than I do sowing! haha

I sowed some cress. Last year I made a note of all the things I was buying at the supermarket and decided that I would grow whatever I could, large or small.
It will live on the kitchen windowsills along with the pea shoots and basils.
RE: 2022 - What I sowed today - JJB - 08-04-2022
Sowed courgettes and squashes, one each of:
Zephyr
Verdi di milano
Bianca trieste
Wanda
Diamante
Green machine
Lungo bianco
Black beauty
Ichi kuri
Tomba - maybe a few more than one.
I know I said I was going to stagger sowing but I couldn't decide which ones to sow first/second, so I just did one of each thinking that some won't show and I can class the re-sowing of the no shows as an intentional successional sowing. Rationalisation is alive and kicking here in the south.

^^^ That's about as sensible as my sowing of DFBs today.
Last year, I emptied all the old DFBs into a jar and gave them a stir. Today, I filled a seedtray with compost, almost covered it with beans, covered them with more compost and a plastic lid and stuck them in the GH. Anything that germinates is a bonus. You can expect me to be doing the same again with CFBs very soon - possibly courgettes and squashes too.
RE: 2022 - What I sowed today - JJB - 08-04-2022
I'm surprised you're not picking DFBs already what with your semi tropical conditions
notwithstanding haily rain.
