More Sowing and Transplanting


My second lot of peas have sprouted and the germination rate is 100%, they were growing well so I took the opportunity to transplant them to their final position.



Swiss Chard, Leeks and Beetroot are a bit slow but the brassicas have now germinated.


The new chickens have arrived



The others sowings today were French Beans, Courgettes, Squash, Pumpkin and Crystal Lemon cucumber in the greenhouse. They are a little early probably a week but I want to make sure they germinate in case I have to resow like last year and then they were behind, and they did not catch up very well.

Tomatoes, Peppers  and Chilli are strong with a couple of Chilli varieties a bit slower, Paper Lantern and Purple Tiger.

I sowed two beds of Broad Beans and one of Field beans, they were doing very well and then the mouse found them. Not a total loss but a bit of a disappointment.


The Strawberries are starting to show signs of life.
