Well I gave in and couldnt wait any longer! I have started sewing the seeds. I have sewn some onions and radishes!not a lot but satisfied my impatience for today. I only put it off this long as I got some useful stuff for the allotment for Christmas. A great allotment planner/ diary and a lovely seed index box. Writing up my action plan over the Christmas, new year break put my mind ready for action , the only bit that needs a bit of action now is the sun! Once the earth warms up a bit I'm going down there and tilling Like crazy! I needed the break from the physical shock my body went under preparing the ground last year, but now I want to do some serious growing!
The plan is once my onions and radishes start to get their 2nd leaves I will plant them out as I made the mistake last year of putting them in the ground straight away, this let the weeds grow up too and I spent far too long trying to distinguish which ones were weeds and which were the veg!this way I can keep all weeds at bay until the plants are a little established and then easily spotted when hoeing.
That's all for now just pray for some sun and spring to come. The birds are singing more but it's bloody chilly no good for onions......apparently!
