Seed Sowing

Just to test viability - I've sown some home saved winter lettuce seeds, plus some chantenay carrots.

The photo has been added for a chum....

Sowing and pricking out

Today I
Sowed:
Tomatoes: Scotia, Maja, Silver Fir Tree all bush tomaotes - for school donated to me by a chum from a couple of seed saving circles
Onions: Valencia and Prebosa - both bought in Spain last autumn.

And

Pricked out/potted on:
A - Piglet Willie's French Black Tom
B - Maskotka Bush Tomato
1 - Purple Beauty Sweet Pepper
2 - Chocolate Sweet Pepper
3 - Chocolate Habanero Chilli Pepper

The above are numbered 1,2,3 etc for peppers and A,B,C etc for toms so that I can cut down on writing labels all the time

Hellebores

Just out in the garden for a bit yesterday - the Hellebores are out and looking fantastic - if you are a borrower or leprechaun that is. So, I popped the camera on the ground and took some photos whilst they are still out. Lovely!

Seed Sowing

Well, I sowed a few more - just some Phacelia and Sanguina Beetroot [from self saved seeds]; got waylaid in the greenhouse depodding some Fenugreek and Golden Sweet Mange Touts from last summer and potting up Broad Beans and Peas from the Vermiculite Germination from last time.

The photos say it all:
Peas, and Broad Beans, in a sandwich bag, with vermiculite and some water. Label, fold up, and keep somewhere warm and dark for a few days.
