This is a bit of a religious quote for me but it grasps the potential of seeds. From one the possibility for life is endless. Springtime is seed time.
So what did I sow?
In the propagator:-
Tomatoes: Marmande, Cuor di Bue, Datterini.
Basil: Lettuce leaved and Bush
Marjoram, Dill, Parsley
Cayenne Chilli Pepper
Courgette: Alberello di Sarzana
Cucumber: Picolino
Leek: Pandora
At the allotment:-
Onions: Red Baron and Centurion
Broccoli: Raab
As I walked up to my plot I inhaled the sweet smell of the earth. I felt enlivened by it. I was very pleased to find that the broad beans were poking out of the ground with only a couple of duds, so there I popped in replacement beans. I was most upset to see my chitting potatoes devoured by a rodent though! An intruder in my shed no less. I'm thinking no chitting next time, I'll just get them in the ground. I have some Raab broccoli seed from a Grow your Own magazine last year and I thought I'd give it a go. It's a dwarf variety ready in 60 days, it will be interesting to see what it's like. I took my whole seed box with me thinking I'd get some other things in but I did lots of weeding and wondering but got nothing else sowed. I think the weather is going to be ok for Saturday but I did notice the first blistery pox of my boy's back tonight so I think I'll be playing nurse to my sweet boy and his chicken pox this weekend instead!
