One Week Late

Last weekend was to have been carrots this weekend turnips, except the carrots weren't planted last weekend.

Today's plantings were:

Carrots, 4 mixed coloured varieties from Kaiotes and the Red Barron from Red Barn. 100 seeds mixed then planted in no particular order, but in the right row.

Turnips, seeds harvested last year. Japanese turnips from Yates. All planted as the next row in with the others. Finally, the blach radishes from Kaiotes.

There are signs that carrots, red onions, radish and turnips are all sprouting.

Seedlings for the green-room was planted in little plastic punnets with 6 holes per punnet. As there was time, this included:

3 giant pumpkins
3 squash
6 red onion
3 zucchini
3 pumpkin
6 purple cauliflower
6 green cauliflower
6 onion

That's the lot! The green and purple cauliflower in the sprouting chamber (with the plastic lid) all appear to either have not sprouted, or to have died! No giant pumpkin sproted either! Lets hope it was bad luck and not bad seeds.
