Whole lotta sowing going on...

... and I'm off! Sowing for the 2012 season has finally begun; a little bit later than originally planned, now that I think (hope) there won't be any more harsh frost.

Everything is in the potting shed with the tender stuff in unheated propagators, so fingers crossed it all germinates. I have sown:
  • 40 tomatoes; 8 varieties (moneymaker, roma, gardener's delight, cherry, principe borghese, sub arctic plenty, rio grande, san marzano lungo)
  • 40 chillies; 6 varieties (hungarian hot wax, rokita, orange wonder, aji crystal, cayenne, unknown from a mexican restaurant)
  • 40 sweet peppers; 5 varieties (california wonder, corno rosso, bellboy, diablo, ozarowska)
  • 6 aubergines; 2 varieties (viserba, black beauty)
  • 6 cape gooseberries
  • rocket
  • mixed salad 
and finally, the charlotte seed potatoes have been put out to chit.

Bring on Spring!!
