Today was onion sowing day. I sowed six module trays of red onions (Carmen) and five module trays of yellow/brown onions (Yellow Rynsburger), four seeds to a cell, so 880 (or thereabouts) in total. We do eat an awful lot of onions 😀
Not desperately exciting, is it? 😀
In somewhat smaller numbers however, I also sowed a tray each of two varieties of mustard (Red Frills and Golden Streaks) which might end up being the first plants in the main vegetable plot this year, as well as a couple of module trays of peas for shoots. These are left-over peas that didn’t get sown in previous years. When I’m done with peas (of whatever variety) each year I just throw what’s left into a box to use for shoots the following year. I fill a module tray with compost, press it down in each of the cells, drop three peas in each one and cover them up to the top of the cell. They’ll get planted out once they’re about 5cm tall and the shoots will be used in salads.
