No dig diary, 9th March 2024

I’m not sure the Sun rose today, it was so dark all day. And we’ve had a fair bit of rain, too. I braved the rain to move my potted-up strawberries into Frankenstein’s Greenhouse and then retired inside a greenhouse to get some sowing done.

I’m a bit limited by how much I can sow right now because I’m so low on propagator space, so initially stuck with peas, salad onions, nasturtiums (I’ve often wondered if the plural of ‘nasturtium’ shouldn’t be ‘nasturtia’) and radishes. Salad onions I sowed about eight seeds to a module tray cell, radishes about half a dozen. They can all just sit in the greenhouse to germinate. I also sowed sweet peas, Larkspur, Nicotiana and Scabious which can get in the propagator tomorrow after I’ve had a bit of a reshuffle.

There’s more to sow yet and in previous years I’d even have had my first early potatoes in this weekend, but the ground is too cold and wet for them yet.
