...... or I spy with my little eye something beginning with P!!!!
(Cold frame made from recycled wood by my lovely boyfriend )
It must be getting warmer because the Peas are up and I've been busy planting seeds!!!!!
Update from 22.02.09
Peas: Feltham First
Planted last November these are growing nicely in the coldframe! Harvest should be ready for harvest at the start of May - August. More can be own now (Mar - May) for a longer harvest.
Garlic: Supermarket
November I planted cloves from a supermarket bulb, these are now 6 inch high shoots! The recent frosts / snow should be great for splitting the bulb into cloves.
Potatoes: Supermarket
The spuds I planted last year were dug up by the kids (searching for worms!) so I planted more today.
Lettuce: Unwins Organic Cut & Come Again :
Planted indoors in two drills will be ready for harvest May - Oct. Can be planted outside April - July. I'll be re planting every 3 weeks to ensure a continuous crop.
Carrots: Early Nantes 2
Planted 6" in the coldframe, these are old seeds so not sure if they'll germinate?
Summer Cabbage: Primo
The seeds I planted last year inside (wrong time!!) are looking long and leggy but green, I think I might scrap those and put them in a stir-fry and start again. I can sow more inside this month or outside in April. Harvest Jul - Aug.
Runner beans: nursery buy from last year
Sown inside, in recycled loo rolls! We'll plant these
Onions: nursery buy from last year
The sets are growing nicely in the trough, putting up shoots, twigs in the mud seem to be keeping cats / birds off!!
01.03.09
I've decided we need some flowers in the garden as well!
French Marigolds: Marionette Mixed
Companion planting to keep the pests off the veggies!
12 seeds planted in the propogator on the living room windowsill. Several have sprouted within the week!!
Nasturtiums: Maharajah mixed
Edible beauties to cheer up our salads!
Planted in propogator. None sprouted yet!
Loads more seeds in the basket to plant but not ready yet!!!!

I've been blog hopping and found yours. It's a lovely blog and I am full of envy for your coldframe, I am going to try and make one now.
Happy sowing and I wish you well.

Thanks for this interesting writing. I will surely try to implement the instructions that you have given through this write up. I shall make it a point to preach about the same to others, so that the world remains a better place to live in.
