2015 Growing Season..

I agree with Jenny. Hold on for another two weeks if you can Pam.

 

getting itchy fingers

 

Ive been and sown some cabbage,salvia,leek,london pea(seedswap from penny ) and more annual sweetpea today.... hope the temps keep up x

 

My broad beans have sprouted in the propagator so I'm hoping to get them out soon and get going on other seeds to take their place.
Is there a month by month thread- veg propogation, planting out, sowing indoors, sowing outdoors - schedule anyone goes by as a to-do-list reminder? Doink that I am, last year I forgot runner beans as well as radishes.*

That's what this thread is building into GG, like Freddy said, a sort of diary.

Here's last years one

GG , PDF file is attached . Its from the T and M site and is a veg sowing and harvesting chart

 

Whilst faffing in my veg patch today came across this little fellow...(see pic) it's a Red Duke of York spud....i haven't grown RDY for a couple of years and that bed has been dug over umpteen times i dug it out and binned it but........i've just fished it out again and potted it up reason being with the idea of growing a Tomtato i just couldn't visualise the size of the shoot i'm aiming at to get a matching scion ....so this is my guesstimate.....keep humouring me

 

I'm growing veg I haven't done so until now, so all a bit experimental.

Just sown outdoors under cloches: spring onions, swiss chard, and some starter lettuce under cover as well. And some radishes in open ground.
Broad beans have just popped in the propagator and will harden those off a bit before planting out. Got cabbage seed in the propagator now.

Wondering if next would it be too early for Mange Tout?

What is to think about for early march?

Rhurbarb that I grew from seed last spring looks like it has done well over the winter and just about to unfurl more from the crown.

Cheers

GG two posts above is a veg growing chart , as you requested
Mangetout and Sugar snaps are easy to grow . I'll plant mine end of March / first half of April direct.

 

Arran Pilots going in this weekend!

 

We might be buying our first house this year so my veg plans are soon to go out the window I think. Not really sure what to do... :(

Some of the gardens with the houses we can get in the area(s) we like are so depressing.

 

What about one or two containers,you can still keep growing a few bits then and take them with you

 

Here are some of our efforts for the 2014 growing season.
Chillies, peppers, aubergines and tomatoes


Onion and celeriac


I will start cucumbers and gherkins, salad leaves, beetroot and so on in the next week or 2.

 

Carry on growing veg till the last second, you never know how long things are gonna take, you can leave veg for the next people, but you can't eat what you haven't sown if there's any delay.

 

I have just potted on tomatoes and cucumbers which I had in heated propagators under lights. Chillies and aubergines doing well but I am running out of space.

Leeks are also in a big tub under lights but they aren't doing so well. They are last year's seeds. I'm wondering if I should just put them on the window ledge and give them a bit more time.

I feel like that greyhound at the top of the page…… (even though I am only a labrador )
