This morning I planted some peas that I’d had soaking indoors they’re now in individual pots in the greenhouse. In a few weeks I’ll transplant them onto the plot to replace the ones that rotted.
I also sowed some leek seeds (Musselburgh) in a seed tray in the greenhouse, these will be grown on until they are roughly pencil size and then I will plant them in the raised bed that is already prepared for them on the allotment.
My seed potatoes have arrived and my shallot sets. I will be chitting the potatoes over the next six weeks and planting them in March. The shallot sets will be planted in mid February. So now it really feels like the new season begins.
