On Compost

It rainied soooooo much on Saturday that we didn’t see the point in going to the plot on Sunday – the soil will be just solid clay wetness and impossible to dig.

There was a Gardeners World special on Friday night on peat and compost. With mention to peat-free alternatives. New Horizon grow bags have been tested to be the best peat-free product for growing seedlings. Will have to see if we can find any in the local stores.

The local B&Q didn’t have any, but it did have the highly rated Westland peat-free product so we bought a bag of that to try it out.

As there was no allotment trip, cleaned the greenhouse and trays (at last!).

Sowed a load of seeds, on a window sill inside the house:

  • Tasty red peppers
  • Meek and Mild chilis
  • Jalapenos
  • Tomato moneymaker

And in the greenhouse

  • Onion squash
  • Comfrey
  • Celery monarch
  • Redbor Kale
  • Broccoli
  • Sweetcorn – Bounty & Swift

Moved some red peppers from the windowsill into the greenhouse.

Where are our courgette seeds? All the seeds are packed into monthly sowings, but I can’t find the courgettes!
