I've already sowed some beetroot, and I'm itching to get on with tomatoes, runner beans, borlotti beans, wax beans, courgettes etc. as well as some annuals for the flower beds etc.
However, the big focus here is still on getting the pond finished so we can get the bed around it planted, then we'll be on to digging a new border in the front garden, so need to sow seeds for the new beds too.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
LOL Scroggin, I had a GH but it wasn't safe and I didn't use it, so have taken it down, bought a new one and now just waiting, and waiting, and waiting.......windowsill extensions, never heard of them, what a fab idea
Its germinated well after 1 week and I'll probably prick it out on wednesday. I germinated it in cheap multi-purpose covered in vermiculite in an unheated propagator in the greenhouse, though temperatures down here havent really dropped below 5 degrees outside at night.
There are instructions on harvesting it, but I don't have the packet here. I think you dry it and then can either blitz it in a food processor or whack it, then separate the chaff on a breezy day.
Well i sown quite a few plants, mostly bedding plants so far.
Petunia - asters - nasturtium - sweet peas - begonia - lobelia - dahlia - delphinium - stock - marigolds - cornflower - antirrhinium - gazania - mesembryanthemums - campanula - amaranthus - nigellia - swan river daisy - mimulus - hollyhock - geranium - bussy lizzy - verbenia - tomatoes - onions. I have sow multiple variety's of most of the plants i have named as well
No sowing outside yet due frost this weekend
Still got a load more to do but weather changing again , so nearly ever windowsill in the house has got plant trays on it now to expensive to heat greenhouse.
Have sown 27 trays of seeds and only have a cold frame so every room has trays with propagator lids everywhere and I am potting on as soon as they are ready.
Got too impatient to get growing so bought a couple of double heated propagators and have been sowing since mid January.
All flowers so far...and the majority are sprouting nicely....from Asters to Zinnias...a mixture of annuals and perennials....trying tomatoes for first time too!

Red cabbages, peas, French beans, runner beans onions and yellow rattle.
Man&g, quinoa; how easy is it to grow? and how do you harvest it?
It's the first time I've grown it!

I'll keep you updated.
