Seeds I have sown today

It's there but not visible to everyone! :D
The staff were getting the bunting out as I was leaving this afternoon, and they will no doubt leave it to me to set them out ... bad back here I come! :(

 

Going to celebrate having the day off by doing some work in the garden??

 

Did that on tuesday when we were on strike, and junior and I laid new turf on our front lawn. Gardening twice in a week !! not likely , saving my back for tomorrow and the geraniums. :D :D

 

You definitely need to toughen up! Get on with some real hard work like TLG and me, and loads of others, of course!! I didn't sow anything today, for once - but my ipomoea are shooting up, having only been planted a few days ago! Great big leaves already!
:D

 

Real hard work? ... and end up incapacitated again, I had my THIRD hernia op last Nov :( so I am very careful what I do.
Did your Kochias come up overnight? :D

 

Very wise then - you have to take it easy at your age, don't you!!! And no, they didn't!! But the ipomoea came up incredibly fast! Can't wait to see them in flower. Loads of these are firsts for me, I just stuck to standard basket and container things, and bedding plants up to now, as I didn't have the space, so now I'm really branching out, and doing my first salad and veg crops too. I've learned all about the theory, but the practice is much more interesting, and hopefully more tasty!

 

today i pricked out and potted on Malva (Apple Blossom) 22 from 50, plus a nice suprise,1 tomatoe growing among them.also 60 Cosmos Sensation(tall mix),30 Ageratum(Blue Mix),30 Rudbeckia(Prarie Sun),9 Eccremocarpus(Mixed Exotic Climber)and 60 Antirrinhum.also had another bash at Lavender(Munstead)with old soil mixed with sharp sand as didnt have all "ingredients" that rossco suggested.gonna bung in coldframe, cross everything and forget.
oh and cabbages sprouts and leeks are showing!
"Oh Happy Days"

 

Today I planted Gardeners Delight tomato seeds in the propagator ( which is having a break from breadmaking :D ).

Also mesembryanthemum seeds - love them as they make such a colourful border when the sun shines.

And then planted some Giant Pumpkin seeds. Hope they germinate more quickly than those sown last year as I nearly gave up on them. :D

 

Mmmm...jjordie,you starting 'em under heat

 

Ah so, its time for the pumpkin seeds is it jjordie? :D

 

Yes

and

Yes

:D :D :D

 

Kochias are up!! Didn't sow anything today - too busy shifting yet more mushroom compost - 15 tons!! :eek:

 

What in the name of the wee man are you doing with 15 tons?
Is it for you or clients?

Last time we used it we got quite a decent crop of mushrooms growing in the GH and garden.

 

you can bag it up for re sale, make a profit organically!

 

Still a danger of frosty nights here and further snow flurries forecast but I gave in yesterday and sowed some alyssum, sweet pea, rudbeckia, mesembryanthemum, aster and a few Moneymaker toms. Unheated green house and they take their chance but I've still seeds left if its a disaster. I've also sown a new (for me) indoor plant - Gloxinia Blance de Meru

For the sweet peas and toms I'm trying out peat pots this year.
