Wow! The names of those veg sound great, don't they?

How many windowsills have you got?!! ;D

Also you have understanding family. My OH groans when I say 'can you just keep an eye on the kids while I go to the shed for half an hour'

He's right though, it's never really just half an hour!

[cornykev]

I see your cutting down this year Ruud.    ;D ;D ;D

[blackcountrysteve]

put some onions in, some beetroot seeds under a cloche
and a few radish seeds plus some asparagus crowns

i thought i had a fruitful day but quite quiet by your standards ruud !!

[ruud]

Your right cornykev i am on half speed this year,but you know how things devolved into sowing madness always thinking about the veggies you didnot sow or you forgot some veggies or you are thinking it is not enough but at the end you got more than enough and your neighbour plotholders are smilling ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D or worse they want to swap. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

My window sill is now looking chockablock and I even have pots on top of the piano!
I already had aubergines, peppers, tomatoes, leeks and cabbages going,  and this weekend I added some herbs, flowers, brussel sprouts, cauliflowers round 2, more toms and spring onions  ;D  and I am nowhere near starting the courgettes, sweetcorn and pumpkins!!!

[ruud]

I did two rows of onions today on my allotment.Sow some lettuce and some radish.

Oh for the space, the curse of a house with no sunny windowsills holds me back each season.

I've tried to keep my sowing outdoor due to lack of viable windowsills.    So far have sown into pots: french sorrel, mixed lettuces, leeks, red spring onions & parmex carrots. Direct: PSB, spring cabbage, beetroot (two types, seed is a bit old so fingers crossed) radish and two lots of broadies.  I have a feeling the first lot of broadies were sown too early as I haven't seen hide nor hair nor soil disturbance and it's 4 weeks later.  Do I assume they're dead & re-sow over the same area?

The only windowsill sowings are 4 pots of artichoke seeds. Fingers crossed on those too.  Infact, fingers crossed on everything...
