It's always a joyous day when you sow your first seeds of the year. And here they are: Two rows of broad beans: Aqua Dulce and the Sutton

These Jerusalem artichokes are soup pot escapees. I only dug them up a couple of weeks ago, but the best ones have been returned to the plot in a new location.

After my disaster with parsnips grown in root trainers I have reverted to my usual technique of sowing Tender and True direct. Alongside I have sown an experimental row of Turnip Rooted Chervil. Last year I sowed these in autumn and they came to nought, so here's hoping a spring sowing of fresh seed will produce some results.

The autumn sown garlic and onions (plus some weeds) are just beyond the new sowings in the bare soil.
n.b. I have made sure that all my sowings have been clearly marked and labelled (see white markers) this year. No repetition of this schoolboy error for me.
You are off to an early start.
ReplyDeleteIt's stratific, isn't it, Sue!
DeleteWell you are way ahead of me Mal...really need to try and get back into it!!
ReplyDeleteI like to spread the effort out as much as possible - basically I'm a lazy gardener!
DeleteYou've made a start so apparently not as lazy as me Mal!!
DeleteKeeping seed clearly labelled is one of my goals this year too.
ReplyDeleteWe all know it, but do we do it?
DeleteI have to admit that I am a bit spoilt with the soil at our plot. (I've seen the soup you have to contend with at your site!)
