Start of the 2010 season
Time to start again and today (22/02/10) the first seeds were sown, Cayenne peppers which were really successful in the conservatory last year.
27/02/10 – Tomatoes sown into pots on the conservatory window sill. 2 seeds per pot; 6 Tumbling Toms, 5 San Marzano and 4 Gardeners Delight. Going to try hanging baskets for the tumbling toms. Cayenne peppers sown too but on three seeds as we had way too many last year.
13/03/10 – Sowed the cucumbers and marigolds plus 6 pots of basil. Tomatoes have emerged and doing well. Peppers have all germinated and are doing well too. Trying to make space in a corner of the utility/conservatory area to fit it all in!
14/03/10 – 6 pots of Basil sowed, pesto season is coming!
20/03/10 – 15 beetroot sowed into pots, Basil coming through now, everything else doing fine. Bought some red onion sets and garlic bulbs from Poundland – for a pound I’m not expecting great returns but so what – they were a pound!
27/03/10 – Sowed 15 pots of Ruby Ball F1 cabbages, 2 seeds per pot
