An afternoon of sowing and potting on

Posted by louisa on Thursday 14 April 2011 in growing | 3 comments

Just so I’ve got a record of what has been planted/potted on and when — and what I have to do on Sunday.

Sown:

Achocha – weee, I’ve been super-excited about these since I heard about them from The Cottage Smallholder
Borage – for my mini forest garden bed
Broccoli – misc cheap variety
Broccoli Rabb/Rapini – only heard about this at the weekend but very excited about them
Carrots – just a misc variety I picked up for 75% off late last year
Courgettes – two hybrid varieties (Cavali F1 and Parthenon F1)
Dwarf beans – some from the packet, some from saved seed
Marigolds – I don’t normally do flowers but a good companion plant. Winning of the weirdest seeds of the day award – they looked like baby octopus tentacles.
Oregano – winning the tiniest seeds of the day award
Perpetual spinach – leftover from last year, not sure how they’ll do
Sweet peas – the only other flower generally allowed here

Potted on:

To sow at the weekend:

Lettuce – more tom thumbs for when the current batch are harvested
Mixed CCA salad leaves – ditto
All sorts of wildflowers
Cat grass & cat nip
The rest of the potatoes
Greens for the chickens if I make a feeder like Kate from Living the Frugal Life

To be potted on/transplanted at the weekend:
