Major sowing sessions

Last Sunday and this Sunday have been our major sowing sessions for green-house raised crops to plant on LottiePlotFour. A few of these crops are a little later than what is ideal, but with the recent cold spells even the perennial plants are at least 2 weeks behind last year. With this in mind, I am not too worried! Things catch up!

Last Sunday I sowed:

climbing french bean - cobra
dwarf runner bean - hestia
dwarf purple french bean - purple teepee
sweetcorn - f1 sundance
runner bean - enorma

This Sunday:

Courgette - F1 Orelia
Butternut squash - F1 cobnut
pumpkin - invincible
pumpkin - jack of all trades
Sunflower - giant red single
winter squash - pottimarron
sunflower - giant single
brussels - maximus F1
lettuce - lollo rossa
black kale - palmizi senza testa
lettuce - webbs wonderful
calabrese - belstar F1
red cabbage - drumhead
lettuce - little gem
summer cabbage - greyhound
dwarf sunflower - dwarf mixed
french marigola
cucumber - picolino F1
iceberg lettuce - mini green

Ready to be hardened off we have a good few sweetpeas in root trainers and the tomatoes, chillies and peppers sown at the beginning of the month are ready to be pricked out.

I also potted up the dahlia and cala tubers to give them a head start before going out on the plot.

The plan is to sow some more tomatoes this week and that will be the main spring sowing session complete!
