A big thank you to Vegatableseeds.net for my voucher – I have ordered the following seeds to be sowed early next year.

I’m going to grow a few more root veg next year – and keep up the supply of oriental leaves for a summer of sun-packed salads.

I also need to get some sort of herb garden going on the allotment – all I have so far is a short row of Sorrel – so I have ordered some Chives, Parsley, Cumin and Marjoram – and these can be joined by some Mint, Rosemary, Thyme, Oregano and sage from my back garden when I get round to splitting them in the spring.

Sunflowers

• 9 tubes
• Emerged after 6 days
• 11.04.11 – doing very well
• now graduated from the kitchen windowsill into the shed (by the window).
• I hope it’s not too cold for them in there.

Tomatoes

• 9 tubes
• these are still on the kitchen windowsill
• most germinated after 12 days – not exactly booming yet though
• Must keep an eye out for a greenhouse
