Probably not the first time. I seem to remember on the dark side reading you had 100 courgette plants and asking what you did with them all. I don't think I got an answer then.

Today's mega sowing of old seeds - mangetout!
Sweet Horizon
Sugar Bon
Green Beauty
Shiraz
Opal Creek
Golden Sweet
Winterkefe
Super Sugarsnap
Weggiser
Carouby de Mausanne
Jessy
I sowed 27 of each, where there were plenty of seeds but there were only 10 or so seeds of some, so they were all sown.

I’m growing green beauty this year. New variety for me.

Merci, Monsieur!! As long as they're not Mangy Mangetout, I should be able to Munch tout le mangetout.

Sown more sunflower as mice visited last night and ate all the seeds I’d sown. They’d just started to germinate as well! I’m not happy. I’ve also sown some just for the mice. In a live trap. Just to make sure I don’t get the little wren that is a regular visitor to the tunnel. If I do get the correct beastie in the trap. I’m sorry to say they won’t be coming out of it alive.

Some blackbird (I assume) pulled my antirrhinum seedlings out of their modules, I'm thinking to get at the damp compost. We're always battling nature somehow.
