Pulled me finger out...

Got most of my maincrop onions in. Pricked out lettuce and put into cells. Taken some tomato seedlings out of the propagator and put them somewhere cooler and light (only one windowsill available) to slow down. Greyhound cabbage, Autumn Calabrese, Kohl Rabi and Seven Hills and Evesham Sprouts all sown and in the prop. Very Happy

Tis really the season to be jolly, tra la la la laaaaa la la la laaaa.... Laughing

Not been here for ages.

Since my last blog, I have dug a fair amount of my potato bed, dug an area for sprouts and got my shallots in. I have at last started sowing. Chilis and aubergines were done a couple of weeks ago and have now been pricked out into cells. Tomatoes were sown today. I have 15 celeriac on the go and some lettuce was recently sown and now needs to be pricked out into cells. I am seriously short of windowsills and do not have a heated greenhouse so I am delaying most of my sowing until the weather improves. I have now finished this year's parsnips and have two waiting to go to seed. Sprouts are jsut about finished and I have to dig my few remaining leeks before they go over.

I am trying New Horizon peat free compost this year as I was disappointed with quality of the Focus one last year.

Not been up the plot this weekend as the weather has just been too bad. Hopefully, I will get my maincrop onions in next week. So far the weather forecast for next weekend is quite promising.
