Seed sowing
I’ve not put much energy into writing as every spare moment seems to be spent at my new potting table getting more little pots filled with seed compost, adding some seeds, labelling, watering and finding another bit of space in the lounge which now even smells like a greenhouse! So far we have planted tomatoes (sungold and garden pearl); chillis (jalapeno, bolivian rainbow and some frozen scotch bonnets); onions, spring onions & shallots; sweet peas (I soaked them overnight in water as I remembered that this helps their tough seed coat to split) planted into loo roll cardboard tubes I had saved as they apprently like to grow a long root; hollyhocks; geranium (only 10 in a pack costing £4 so I hope these germinate!); lobelia; carnations.
