Just before we went to Sweden I planted 2 types of early potatoes - Arran Pilot nearest the polytunnel, and a row of Swift next to it. I bought some more Charlotte so there will soon be 1 row of Estima and maybe 4 rows of Charlotte to complete the potato planting this season.
I also planted the pre-rooted garlic and this will be followed soon by the red onion sets and the yellow ones. They all look very well rooted and the shoots are up to inches high now.
Currently in the greenhouse are the broad beans (10 + 7 germinated out of 20) and they can go in the ground very soon now. I'll make sure they're better supported this year.
Today I planted sweet corn seeds in small pots for the propagator and also a second batch of 2 types of hot chilli seeds - Ring of Fire and Prairie Fire. The first seedlings perished through my neglect of them in the front room!
Next to plant will be sprouts and peas, in trays/pots respectively, and soon it will be time to try seeds direct in the soil.
