I reckon I must be. I was in the greenhouse today and I was looking through the tub that I keep seeds in and when I found some I could plant in february my heart skipped a beat and the compost bag came out....

Then if you are then so am I, I'll be doing exactly the same thing this weekend.

I actually put loads of seeds in 3 weeks ago, and some 2 weeks ago. a bit early for some admittedly. but an experiment.
a bit warmer Here admittedly, and a small "walled " garden. so maybe , maybe nou...........

I can always redo them a bit later on.. I will anyway, even if they do come through, as not much space, so trying for 2 lots hopefullysO now......


WWell now. I´m just feverish with excitement . waiting to see if anything is germinating!

2 different lots of radishes, some lettuce, chamomile, and strawberries , have popped up so far

I think this illness is reaching epidemic proportions! pbf.

this sounds *really* serious!
albeit not deadly.
and no doctor will be able to cure you.;)

Al if you are we all are! OH and I were out in a shopping centre the other day and one of the shops had a big poster in the window. The poster was of ladies legs wearing cream coloured tights with kissy lips on them (Valentines)OH thought they were parsnips!

Sooooo brilliant

Glad it is not just me - I haven't told anyone that I started sowing, incase I get told off because it is so early!

But I have already sown tomatoes - have justified this to myself on the basis that last year, they didn't ripen until September/October in the polytunnel, so need to get a headstart this year - same for peppers and aubergines.

Basil you can sow anytime right? So I stuck some of that in. Also put in some Delphs and foxgloves, both of which you are supposed to get flowers this year from an early sowing - so it is justified.

Just couldn't wait - and last night came home from work to check the propagator to find..... seedlings!!! It gets me with a lump in my throat every single year...I hope it always does.

ooo, I'm so jealous
We're in the middle of storms at the mo, so am hiding out - will go and rescue my garden when someone turns the weather volume down and things dry out a bit

I've stopped going straight to the kettle first thing in the morning and go straight to my seed trays instead to see how they've grown overnight. Some a bit experimentally early because I couldn't wait

Given the weather (and the forecast) I got all enthusiatic, set up cloches, and now have carrots, lettuce, onions & garlic in the ground.

It's started

leeks, onions, psb and sprouts sown. I'm also doing lettuces ans celeriac this week. At home I'm putting in tomatoes peppers and aubergines to get them an early start. Next week I'll do spinach and broad beans. It's good for the soul this isn't it.

jings crivens - and I thought I was doing well pulling out my sprout plants today - just finished eating them last week. And I'm still pulling leeks and PSB from last year, dug up the rest of my parsnips too - haven't thought about putting anything in - although i did release a couple of thugs today into their own raised bed - horseradish and jerusalem artichokes - they can fight it out having been stuck in pots till now

Ain't caught the seeds in ground flu bug yet... but gearing up for it

Really need the chooks back on the allotment then I can crack on with my garden again and start sowing/planting
