New thread - a sort of memory jogger.
Tell us what your sowing plans are for the week. Maybe it will help the rest of us.

Too early for me to sow beans yet. Never got round to sowing tomatoes yesterday so that will be this week and maybe some more sweetpeas. Might experiment with some early MT, but with minus temps in the gh they may get frosted.

According to my new Huw book, I should sow:-
March week 1 -
Beetroot - 20 module cells 4-5 seeds per cell. Thin to 3-4
Cauliflower - 6 cells, 2 seeds per cell. Thin to 1
Field beans - 40 cells, 2 per cell
Pak choi - 20 cells, 2 per cell Thin to 1
Week 2
Onion sets 120
Napa cabbage 12 cells , 2 seeds per cell. Thin to 1
Perpetual spinach 8 cells, 2 seeds per cell. Thin to 1
Also tomatoes and 3 courgette seeds in individual pots.
This should keep me busy.

Tomorrow I'm thinking of sowing just one each of cucumbers and courgettes. Delistar and Sure Thing. I know in my mind it's far too early but putting Veggie's hat on, I might get away with it as the weather is mild atm. That's not to say we won't have a freeze in a fortnight. Also going to sow some cosberg lettuce and prob beets in modules.
