I finally got my aubergine seeds sown. Well, 3 of them anyway - there isn't going to be enough space in the greenhouse for anymore sadly. This is a shame as the seeds above are from a packet of mixed aubergine, so it will be interesting to see what appears (hopefully).
As you can see the daytime temperature in the greenhouse is quite impressive. Oh, how I wish that it was as warm outside. All the time!
I got a bit carried away and planted some California sweet pepper, Hungarian Hot Wax chilli, Cayenne chilli, dahlia, sweet William, and mesembryanthemum (Livingstone daisy). My Dad sowed some broad beans (Bunyard's Exhibition) and peas (Meteor). Now, like an expectant parent, I am excitedly anticipating their arrival.
That's the only problem with mixed seeds, but at least it'll be fun seeing what grows from the ones that you've sown. Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteYes, surprises are always fun! :) x
DeleteSounds like you are well underway with the seed sowing I won't be growing aubergine this year as I never have any success with them.
ReplyDeleteI've never attempted to grow them before so I've got my fingers crossed. I'm not too optimistic though as it seems that lots of people don't have any luck with them. :)
DeleteI sowed my broad beans at the weekend & the same variety of sweet pepper as you. Hope we have some success.
ReplyDeleteYes, a good season this year would be great. No signs of anything happening in my broad bean pots or pepper pots yet, what about you?
Deletethe peas 'meteor' are great! I sowed them myself 2 years ago and they turned out to be a very successful crop!
ReplyDeleteThe peas rotted as we covered them by mistake :( Oh dear. Hopefully more luck second time around!
DeleteIt's always exciting to see what pops up from a packet of mixed seeds. It took me three years to get an aubergine to fruit so I don't bother growing them now. Hope you don't have to wait too long for the seeds to germinate.
ReplyDeleteOh no. No one seems to have any luck with them. No doubt our rubbish summers of recent are to blame. No signs of the seeds germinating yet, I have a feeling that I haven't kept them warm enough. I'll give it another week or so and try again :)
