Into Pots

Moved lettuces and marshmallow into pots in the green room. Hopefully they'll take.

Brasicas into the patch

Moved many of the cauliflowers, broccoli, and cabbage into the patch. As two potatoes had self-sprouted they were left to grow.

Moving on out

Moved the zucchini from the propagation pots into the patch. Moved the cucumber into larger pots and moved the one and only squash that germinated into a larger pot. 

The potatoes are starting to show through the surface. 

The other seeds are waiting another week before moving to the patch.

Seeds into the Patch

Planted a row each of:

Carrot - Pusa Asita
Radish - Watermelon
Turnip - Tokyo White Cross F1

Also planted out some shop-bought lettuces and zucchini.  Some more radishes were planted around the zucchini as they should harvest before the zucchini starts to get big.

New Season

Time to start over...

Fresh set of seeds from Kings - but the price has gone up a bit. They still have the "free seeds if you spend over $40 deal" which I benefitted from.

Into pots in the green room has gone fresh seeds (and some old ones)

Squash Pink Banana Jumbo
Cucumber, English Greengrocer F1
Tomato bicolour Cherry (organic)
Marshmallow

These are unlikely to find their way into the patch as they will do better inside then out.

Also into pots went

Spinach Approach F1
Cauliflower All Year Round
Cabbage Premiere (organic)
Zucchini Partenon
Broccoli Tender Stem F1
Cauliflower Violet Sicilian
Lettuce Paris Island Cos
Lettuce Summer Queen
Lettuce Miner's Lettuce

These are all likely to get into the garden or the patch. The Miner's Lettuce is targeted as ground cover under the blackcurrants as apparently they'll spread on their own. The seeds are the smallest seeds I've ever seen.
