Seeds!

Gorgeous sunny Sunday and the greenhouse in the garden was 25-30 degrees so time to get started with the seed planting,  just the ones for March sowing today.  Did a couple trays of cabbages, Jersey Wakefield, a heritage variety.  Couple trays of brussel sprouts, one Bedford Fillbasket and one Brilliant F1.  Couple trays of kale, Dwarf Green Curled (did brilliant last year) and Starbor.  Two trays of Musselburgh leeks.  Broad beans in root trainers - Suttons, Bunyards Exhibition and Dreadnought.  Then some sunflowers - Wahoo, same as last year, lovely bushy and short sunflowers with loads of flowers, some Solar Flash and some Giant Yellows.  Got the Gladiator parsnips started indoors as well, doing the same way as last year as the germination rate was really good, on damp kitchen paper somewhere warm.

Hopefully they will all progress well as will need the space in the greenhouse for all the April and May seeds!

    Your greenhouse looks very organised. It was a horrible day here in Nottingham, I got caked in mud, but my friend managed to get it all over her face. Ha ha.
