2021 What I sowed today

I checked the dwarf french beans I sowed 2 weeks ago, the seeds had gone to mush so I resowed new ones. This time I just left the bean sitting on top of the damp compost and see can we get some germination.
I also shook out some wild flower and poppy seeds in a part of the garden I’m going to let grow wild. Just hope the weeds won’t over grow the flowers.

That's quite early for French beans? They don't like the cold and will go mushy if sown now. I sow mine end of April for planting outside. End of March/beginning of April for growing in the greenhouse. 

if you have trouble germinating beans- lay down very damp kitchen roll in a Tupperware pot. Put the lid on and leave somewhere warm. Check often and make sure the kitchen roll stays damp. Pot up when you see a root. I often start mine off like this as it saves space.
