Weather still not showing any sign of improving. Not cold but so wet.
Checked the peas and carrots out on the lottie and both looking very healthy. The second batch of peas need to go out on the lottie as they are starting to look a little stretched, was hoping for a bit better root formation. The tall plant pot of carrots are doing well, they will be grown in the pot and kept in a nice sheltered place in the garden. Have sown another batch of peas, this time in two pieces of guttering about 9" long. Never used this method before so keeping fingers crossed.
Have sown two containers of micro seeds, beetroot and red cabbage, these will be used as required once they get to about 1" to 2" high. Lovely in a sandwich with a mature cheddar.
Found a bag of red sun shallots that I purchased from Wilco and forgotten I'd got. potted them up in multi purpose in 3.5" pots to get them going. Have some that were potted up before Xmas that I want to get out on the lottie this week.
Have had a seed sowing session today and have started the following.
Lettuce Salad Bowl and Artic King
Parsnips Tender and True
Leeks Mussleburgh
Radish Rats Tails
Lemon Grass
Cape Gooseberry
Chinese Veg Pak Choy and Tatsoi Yukina
Only sown small amounts to get earlier crops. Grew both lemon grass and cape gooseberry last year but didn't start them early enough to get bumper crops. Rats tails I'm having another go at last years were a miserable affair. The main sowings of leeks and parsnips will not be done for some time yet.
