Yes.
Yes I do.
And then I ordered some more...because you just do, don't you?
Plus I may have picked up some at the garden center.

I use these nifty little pellets when starting my seeds (the brand is Jiffy).
Pop them in the container, water very generously and watch them expand.
Add your seeds, put the cover on and then the hard part of waiting starts.
These are the tomato seeds I got from Courtney.

Why the question marks?
Those two seeds got mixed up in the envelope, so I won't know until I see tomatoes ripening .
I don't mind a little mystery.
...cue impatient waiting...
I tend to grow veggies we like to eat. makes more sense :)
Love, love, love carrots.
Using up left over seeds from last year and added the red and white varieties.
Most of my seeds I ordered from Thompson & Morgan from the UK, some are from the local garden center.

Mixed variety of lettuces. The little gem one was my favorite from last year.
Greens and such...
I had broccoli and chard last year, spinach should be easy enough to grow. The leeks were part of a bonus seed packet I got. I'll give it a go, apparently not the easiest to grow.

Radishes and beets.
Last year I didn't do well with beets, but I know more now.
And you really can't mess up radishes...

Peas, peas and more peas.
Lots of peas. My neighbor at the allotments named me the pea magician last summer :)
Last year I lost all my cucumbers that I had grown in advance, so this year I'm sowing direct.
The pumpkin grew happily in a hugelkultur bed, which I'm making bigger this spring.

I have chives, oregano, thyme and lovage growing already.
Adding the sage.
Anyone interested in lovage seeds? :)

I will be growing equal amounts of veggies and flowers.
Lots and lots of flowers
I believe in a pretty and eclectic garden.
The allotments have their own beehives, so this is a great way of attracting those pollinators.
Calendula and nasturtiums.

Poppies and snapdragons.
The double bloom cosmos bloomed like crazy last year.
Also hollyhocks, rudbeckia, nigella, cornflower and flax.

Sunflowers equal happiness.
And of course zinnias... you just can't go wrong with them.
They last two weeks in a vase!

Most will be direct sown.
I've also bought this greenhouse shelf to use to start the zinnias, snapdragons and cosmos.
Ooohhh look!
I love this part!
Now off you go to check out what is going on in Courtney's garden.
So much variety - you will certainly have a wonderfully colourful display of veg & flowers.
ReplyDeleteIt is exciting seeing the new shots coming up; isn't it.

You can never have too many seeds! I am running a little late on my time schedule. Think I will be looking into one of those greenhouses myself. Good luck!
