Let's Sow

24/1 - Pepper Chilli Shake
Mum's Red Pepper
Chilli Cayenne
Chilli Jalapeno

26/1 - Sweet Peas

All germinated, some better than others.

Potted up the Valdor Lettuce and put outside in the newly clean greenhouse with The Sutton and Aquadulce Claudia broad beans. Instant death will probably follow even though they're under fleece.

Today's sowings:

Indoors:

Basil Lime
Gypsy Pepper
Pepper Padron

Calendula

Outside in greenhouse:

Musselburgh leeks


Other activities:

Pruned Chilli Jalapeno from last year starting to put on new growth.

Finished pulling the carrots from the bath. Stuck them in a pot with the Best of All Swede pulled from the lottie today.

Washed the greenhouse yesterday with Jeyes fluid. Didn't bank of the fact that the hose spray head and Y fitting had both cracked in the cold weather. I think I got more water over me than anywhere else.

Ginger is doing b. all.

Amaryllis is one big long stalk. Hardly any leaves to talk about. Almost ready to bloom.

Snowdrops coming out in the front border, hellebores has been out for ages by the looks of it. Keep forgetting it's there. Loads of other bulbs poking their heads through.

Mum's witchazel not a prolific as I'd expected. Wonder if I should feed it ?

It feels good to be doing something at long last.

:-D

Hello Mrs KP,
what a wonderful blog you have here.
I work for the Centre for Contemporary Arts. We have been undertaking a guerilla gardening community project, and have a number of left over plants (well, actually nearly a hundred runner beans) that we would like to donate to garden enthusiasts.
Would you be able to email me your details (and that goes for anyone reading this who might be interested in taking some free plants) and we will tell you where and when you can pick them up...
