No dig diary, 3rd March 2024

The stars didn’t exactly align for sowing this weekend for multiple reasons, the main one being that I was away at a birthday party for much of it and was quite tired by the time we were home (it turned into quite a late night). The greenhouse is full, the propagators are full and a frost is forecast.

I managed to make a little space in the greenhouse by ditching some pepper plants that I was hoping might spark back into life this Spring but in the harsh light of day really aren’t showing any signs of doing so. That allowed me to sow more Romanesco cauliflowers, borage and a number of varieties of poppy — I have a white breadseed poppy, some wild poppies and a couple of varieties destined for the cutting garden.

In the hope that I can make space in the propagators (probably by getting the “emergency propagators into use) over the next few days, I have also sown lots of tomato seeds — Garnet, Lotos and Amish Paste that I grew last year along with Skykomish, Latah, De Colgar and (I think) Dív?í Prs.
