Week 3
M - Turnip & radish. Bed 11 L
T - Celery, Fennel, Rhubarb. Bed 12 M
W - Tomato, Aubergine, Pepper. Bed 13 N
T. - Spinach, Chard. Bed 14 O
F - Flowers- LMNOPQ. Bed 15 PQ
This week I plant to sow a few turnips and radish in the Veg plot and plant some Lavender in Bed 11. I'll look for some carrots or radish to harvest. (It was too wet today so this day is on catch-up at the weekend).
On Tuesday I have a Rhubarb to plant, may sow some Fennel seeds and some Monarda seeds in Bed 12. I'll pick some Rhubarb.
Wednesday I'll plant out some more tomatoes and a pepper plant, sow some Nigella in Bed 13 and I've no idea what fruit I can pick unless its in the freezer!
Thursday I'll plant some chard seedlings and sow more and some spinach. Need to think of a flower beginning with O or I could plant some Oregano in Bed 14. I have chard to pick.
Friday I'll be sowing some more flowers and herbs starting with LMNOPQ including Breadseed Poppies in Bed 15. I'll pick some flowers too - probably bluebells, honesty, cow parsley and lovage as there's a lot of these.

For someone so 'random' you're incredibly organised

Its all an Act, Jen.- I'm far more random than organised. However, I have filled in my diary every day this year, so far, which is not an act but a miracle.

Are you ready for another Version of RSFLF.
I'm combining 2 earlier versions into one new one. It goes something like this..........
Week 1 Monday - is for sowing seeds and I'll sow all the week's seeds on the same day. For example Wk 1, Monday, I'll sow carrots, radish. spring onions, peas, lettuce and rocket
Week 2 Monday - sow Beetroot, radish. leeks, beans and kale/cabbage
Week 3 Monday - turnips, radish, parcel/celery, some sort of fruit and spinach/chard
Week 4 Monday - potatoes, Oriental veg, some sort of fruit and greens.
I've chosen these veg as I think I should be able to sow and grow them all year round using buckets in the GH overwinter. Regardless of what the seed packet says, I'm going to try it.
The plan is to put each week's seeds together in a box, sow some and put the box away from the next 3 weeks,
Before you ask, I'm still working on what happens on the remaining days of the week! Watch this space.
