I've started sowing in doors, stuff like aubergines which need a long growing season and chillies and peppers which take along time to germinate.
Started sowing veg varieties at the weekend which could have been started in February and have also started sowing toms. Even with heat everything seems to be slow though.
Northerner here! Bradford, West Yorkshire! I've been lurking this thread a few day's now n am gunna jump in!
Tried early sowings of aubergene's, Tom's n Peppers for one reason n one reason only, I have a gardening buddy who is new to this GYO stuff, n he fancied a go! n somehow new it would end in tears!
Seedlings sown mid Feb were doing lovely, till he accidentally left the Greenhouse door open! All Went over!
But we being North still have time! So my initial plan to cover our new growing season "Well paid off"
The next batch sown shall be kept under my beady eye!
But we have planted! n well happy with outcomings!
Garlic, both soft neck n hard neck n Broad beans up, onions at far bed are struggling! See how they go!
Steph, us Northerner's are one up from Yorkshire where pockets are tightly closed from birth to death, sorry Tykes.
Frank, Don't know what you mean. It's not our fault our pockets are deep but our arms are short!
Back garden currently under a foot of snow. Once again I'm grateful I have an engineer Husband and Landrover for transport. A few years ago the A57 near us was shut due to snow and lorries getting stuck up a very steep hill, husband and bro-in-law went out for supplies, and the chap took one look at the car, moved the 'road closed' sign out of the way & let them through. The only other things that were going through were the mountain rescue (even though we're nowhere near mountains). Think the recovery strop on the front lights and all the kit in the back seat helped!
