2021 What I sowed today

I sowed some more red robin windowsill tomatoes as the three I have are not enough for giveaways. Sowed a few more vilma as an insurance for the single one I have, so they will be available for seed saving. Some citrina peppers on kitchen towel in the airing cupboard - the ones sowed in compost failed to germinate.

The propagator was looking a bit devoid of pots, so against my better judgement I decided to fill it up a bit. I'm not really a fan of sowing stupidly early but hey ho, I let my heart rule my head. Rolleyes

Sowed:-

Black Russian toms
Craigella toms
Heinz toms
Vince toms (I got these off Veggie in 2015 and remembered they were a yellow beefsteak,Sowed about 20 seeds, nothing ventured nothing gained!) Big Grin

PS Also sowed the last four seeds of Trinidad Perfume chilli's as only one germinated from the six I had sown earlier in the year.

^^^^^^^^

Forgot to add I sowed a pot full of red torpedo onions seed! Last year I think I must have sown these a bit late, and even though they looked OK when harvested, I can only guess they weren't ripe as they didn't keep well at all. Cry

Not sowed, strictly speaking, but today a package of Galanthus nivalis "Fiore Pleno" snowdrops arrived (in the green), so I decided to plant them out before the weather turns nasty again. Put a few under the hawthorn tree to keep the existing ones company, and the rest dotted around the front garden.

My tulips are starting to come up, both the new ones I planted in November and the Tulips That Would Not Die - a small clump that I think were originally one bulb, now all that's left of some that were planted by the previous owners. Given that I've been living in this house for over 21 years, I'm perpetually amazed when they come up again!

Latah tomato, Chillies:- Loco, De Cayenne and Early Jalapeno

Also Onions: Bedfordshire Champion and Red Brunswick
Good to know I’m not the only one who’s a bit tardy with my chilli sowing.
haven’t sowed any toms at all yet.
btw once the chillis germinate, so they still have to stay in the propagator? I’m running out of space and don’t want them in there if it’s not necessary.

I move mine onto a windowsill, but I'm no chilli expert, like you I just need the prop space for other stuff.

I haven't sown any chillies yet either, but I'm only growing mild varieties and they don't need as long a growing season as the hot ones. Besides, I need to check my heated propagator is still working first!
