Apologies for my silence, time goes too fast and life can change so quickly.
I’m back and keeping my fingers crossed for a sunny day tomorrow to get up to No.27. I haven’t been able to get up there and do anything yet this year, so fidgeting to go get the beds dug and weeded.
Whilst I have been away I have managed to finish my collection of seeds and start planning them month by month. Now just to try make room for everything in time!
Here is everything I am hoping to grow on No.27 in my first year:
Russian Giant Sunflowers
Calendula – Fiesta Gitana Mixed
St George runner beans
Firetongue borlotto climbing beans
Leeks – Autumn Mammoth 2
Musselburgh
Spring Onions – Performer
Barletta
Sweet Corn – Snobaby
Brussels Sprouts – Bright F1
Brodie F1
Braemar F1
Carrots – Autumn King 2
Purple Sun F1
Potatoes – Charlotte
Sarpo Mira
Need to collect a few more empty egg trays so I can get chitting as soon as possible.
What are you growing this year?
Hopefully be back tomorrow with news of digging success…
Nor have I done any plotting this month as it’s either been too soggy or frozen. That’s a good selection you’ve chosen, some which I also grow such as pot marigolds, runner beans St George and Charlotte potatoes which are my favourite variety. Don’t worry if you don’t start chitting for a week or two.
I’m growing my usual choices including broad beans, onions and tomatoes.
Have a good weekend. xx
Thank you! Weather certainly hasn’t been on our side until now. Glad I have picked a few varieties that you have had success with. Hope you have had a great weekend x
Awesome update thank you for sharing and have a blessed day
Thank you Linda! x
I grew Autumn King carrots last year and they did really well. I’m also trying Russian Giant sunflowers this year and I’ve got high hopes for them!
Haha, very good! We can compare progress 🙂
