Kickstarting seed sowing!
Its nearly May and I seem to be slacking on the seed sowing front so, I have a new plan, loosely based on my weekly routine of sowing Roots, Shoots, Fruits and Leaves in successive weeks over 4 weeks.
Instead of sowing weekly, I shall sow daily -
Monday = Roots
Tuesday = Shoots
Wednesday = Fruits
Thursday = Leaves
Friday = Flowers
Tomorrow, for example, I'll sow carrots or beetroot and I'll thin out/transplant any roots sown previously
Next Monday, I'll do the same but sow a different root until its time to repeat sow in 4 weeks.
So the Monday plan may be:-
Wk 1 = beetroot
Wk 2 = carrots
Wk 3 = turnips
Wk 4 = parsnip
Wk 5 = beetroot
Wk 6 = carrots etc.
I'm also overwhelmed by old seeds that I just can't throw away, so I'll scatter them in some forgotten corner each week. Waiting for old seeds to germinate often means losing time, compost and effort (unless they're courgettes
).
