I start seed sowing in earnest this month and I’ve been getting tips from Chiltern Seeds and finding out a bit more about the firm - it’s celebrating its 50th birthday.

Head over to my blog to discover more: https://bit.ly/4imz1dS

We decided to try a different approach to Tuesdays #today.

After I'd been to Tai Chi and collected Sacha from her gym class I filled the car up with petrol and got a Sainsbury's Meal Deal which we took to the allotment.

Lunch with coffee and then.....jobs!

We were probably only there a couple of hours but it was very productive.
Sacha planted yet more rescued flower bulbs - and there are definitely no more. I put some dahlias and gladioli in, with some marigold seeds.
I've also put some old found seeds in the ground - parsnip, lettuce and french beans - being old they're unlikely to germinate, but better to try than just throw them away.

I didn't get the digging done, I intended, but I'm very pleased with our efforts.
It was a bit chilly, but it's dry.

We might repeat it next Monday - but that requires me to get to the gym by bus, and it's two buses despite not being very far as the crow flies.

All kinda little sprouts appearing.
Take a peek, on the windowsill from the end of the tray—new alyssum sprouts, seen from wide view, teeny tiny arugula sprouts.

Loving how these humidity dome thingies with a catch basin below, make it easy to put seed sprouts in the windowsill.
