Actually got my hands in soil today, hooray.
Decided to get a start on my aubergines and peppers, so planted:-
Peppers:-
Como di Toro Rosso
Alesya
Bolivian Rainbow Chilli
Sweet Aji
Chocolate Chilli
And a few more whose names I forget
Aubergines :-
Calliope
Little Fingers
Red Egg
Black Beauty
Rotonda Bianca Sfumata di Rosa
Just a few of each as I do not want to be over run, but so hard not to put in loads.
Also sowed Leeks, mammoth blanch, and another type. Hispi and Savoy cabbage, which have all gone into trays in the polytunnel.
Purple Globe, and Green Globe artichoke have joined the chillis and peppers in the heated propagator in the spare room.
The biggest surprise today was that the OH, who seems scarily to be starting to have an interest in gardening, sowed some snapdragon seeds today. In the 22 years I have been married to him, I have never seen him open a seed packet, let alone put them in soil.
Here is hoping they come up and survive to encourage him.(didn't mention damping off to him)
It was so nice to actually put something in at last, just hope that I can keep them alive until they can fend for themselves. This isn't the warmest house to raise tender plants, and the poly will not be warm enough for them to fend out there for a few months yet, but hopefully this dreary weather will improve and we will get some sunshine when they need to be on the windowsills.
