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!
