Oh spring is a comin.
I’m itching to get started in the Vegi garden but of course its still far too early to really get going yet, I am doing a few we bits and pieces though.
I ordered some garlic before Christmas, unfortunately it wasn’t delivered until the beginning of January so 4 rows of Printanor were planted on the 14th.
Bought the spuds
Formost – First early 2.5kg
Charlotte – second early 2.5kg
Desiree - main 5kg
and I still want some Picasso.
These are all now chitting in the Keeder House until they are ready for planting in a few weeks.
Bought onion and shallot sets too
150 Red Barron onion
45 Golden Gourmet shallot
45 Red Sun shallot
Again they spread out in trays in the Keeder House. The shallots need to be planted fairly soon but the onions need to wait till it warms up some.
Sown some chillie seeds on the 24th; Prairie Fire, Peach Habanero, Jalapeno, Fuego and some I was given called C. pubecens ‘Albert Locos’. All sown into little potts in the Keeder House with some bottom heat
I wish I had my sweet peppers to sow but they haven’t arrived yet.
Rabbits have been chomping on the purple sprouting so I have had to net it off, at some point I will need to put a proper net over the whole plot.
Still harvesting leeks, celariac, cabbage jerusalum artichoke and some rough salads. The salads planted in the polly tunnel last November are still a wee bit small for eating, but coming on well.
