I love twitter and instagram, watching all the amazing and knowledgeable gardeners planting seeds and pictures of how well they are doing. I am still very new to growing flowers and vegetables from seed and I have a lot to learn. But decided it is time we start some seed planing here at Mud, Cakes and Wine
My mum came down and we planted some sweet peas, not sure it is the correct time to plant them but we decided to go for it anyway, they have all germinated and doing really well. I have transferred them from the propagator to the new grow house.
I will have also planted some Echinacea Pallida from the Sarah Raven collection and Rudbeckia Gloriosa Daisies from Mr Fothergills now that the Sweepeas have been moved, I really need another propagator. As I have lots more I want to start.
Building and lining trough style planters - Link to the post We built our trough planters last year and I have learnt a lot, this year I will be planting more in succession, with that in mind and reading my seed packages, I have planted a row of beetroot and carrots. I will then plant another row of each in a couple of weeks time. I hope this means we have a succession of vegetables.
I have also put in a line of onions and we can see how they do.
I am really going by the information on the seed packets and just giving it a go again. It has been so great getting back outside and just looking for the tiny signs of growth from the seeds is very special.

Wow this sounds like a very busy week & your growhouse looks great! rudbeckia are being devoured by snails in my garden, which is a shame but i gave up after trying a couple of times. Bizarrely they do very well in my folks' garden where slugs don't seem to go after them. Curious to hear how you get on :)
ReplyDeleteI love sweet peas and they look so pretty growing too. I hope you get the bug! #DreamTeam
