March on.
While I've been incapacitated (again) Dad has been doing some reconstruction work on the plot. I've three beds where there were two, moving further up toward the trees. So we've a little bit more planting space.
I've done the seed list and the buying for the year. I know when things can go in but haven't done the planting plan or the successional sowing list. There are things, though, that cannot wait for such things so I'll have to go down this week and put in the onions (red and white), garlic and shallots as well as plant parsnips[1] and radish. This isn't too onerous a task and I should be able to do it. More difficult will be the broad beans so I might pot them at home for now.
The dining table is now covered with seeds for this year. Aubergine, Courgette, Pepper and sprouts in one tray, with tomatoes and melon Celeriac in my new heated propagator. I've two small seed trays I'm going to try growing lettuce in at home as well as my windowsill propagator which will get the herbs: sadly I ran out of potting compost yesterday and will have to get some more. To be planted next month are the squash, cucumbers and golden courgette and they are hanging about on the mantelpiece.
On the plot are leeks, still, cabbage and purple sprouting brocolli just coming into season. I can see me eating a lot of that in the coming weeks.
[1]It's got personal now. I can grow carrots. Why can't I grow parsnip?
