2024 - What I sowed today

Broad beans Bartek, tomatoes Red Robin. I wasn't going to sow RR but a neighbour said she would like her usual windowsill tomato so I've relented and while I was at it I sowed some Malachite box, Burlesque and Bloody Butcher toms, I just couldn't resist. Also sowed some Sturon onion seed.

The time has come when I return to Roots, Shoots, Fruits and Leaves with Flowers on Friday!
To catch up on yesterday, I've sown Beetroot in modules, Shoots today are Babington perennial leek bulbils and Welsh Onion seeds. Its good to be back.

Put some old peas on kitchen paper to sprout though I think they are too old. Also sowed some Tom Thumb dwarf peas in a pot in GH1 - these were sown by 2017!.
All we are saying, is Give Peas a Chance.

I sowed some radish and some spring onions. All in pots of last year's compost fortified with a bit of BFB. I'll keep them indoors until they germinate then straight into the greenhouse.

Its Leaves day so I sowed some Speedy Mix Salad leaves in the GH.
Also planted 4 rooted leek ends in the perpetual leek bed.

Sowed tomatoes mainly but also beetroot, leek, courgettes and cucumber. As only 3 sweet peppers have germinated, sowed a few more as well as some more aubergines.

Re sown aubergine money maker and black beauty. And nepeta blue panther.

Sowed 2 sorts of broccoli, Matsuri and a Lidl's Autumn Calabrese. That's reminded me I've yet to record it in my book. Nothing can yet be sown directly, the ground is so sodden and claggy. I'm thinking of putting onion sets in modules to start them off to gain a bit of growing time, then you risk the stress of cold or transplanting making them bolt.

I've sown some more tomatoes. I'll list them in the tomato thread somewhen

Sowed some MT. Just a few of each. Some left in the cold gh and others brought indoors. Green Beauty, Carouby de Moussane, Oregano Sugar Pod & Bijou

Sown Beetroot Detroit Globe in a Seed tray. Angelica and Caraway in pots.
