2nd March 2013

It's finally March!!! seed sowing time :) I have been busy this afternoon in the greenhouse sowing lots of different flower seeds, at the moment i have a pop up greenhouse with 4 tiers and a polythene cover,i heat this with an electric tube heater and keep just a few seedlings in there as i don't want to heat the whole greenhouse with my electric heater day and night,its just not worth it with the few seeds that have germinated.

The only vegetables that i have sown are leeks,celery,celeriac,sweet pepper,chili pepper,tomato,lettuce,onions which have been grown from seed and some broad beans which are getting quite big!!now it's March i can sow lots more :)

Me and my son Callum went to the allotment this morning it was very nice to see the sun shining.
A few months ago i planted some garlic but nothing has happened?? i dug a couple up they have no roots they are just sat there so i will assume nothing will come from them .
I took along some elephant garlic and planted that its much bigger than normal garlic with a milder taste.
We dug up the spring cabbages, purple sprouting broccoli and the last of the leeks and dug it all over now everything is clear and ready for planting.... I think my next job will be sowing some parsnip seeds there.
