It's not a very exciting photo I know, but I wanted to post, so I have a record of when I sowed and what I sowed. These are all the seeds that can't be direct sown, and were sown on March 5th. The seeds that can be direct sown won’t go in until we get some cooler weather, which at the moment feels like it is never going to happen. We have had a reasonably cool summer this year, but just as the temperatures should have started to drop, it rose instead and we are now on day seven where the temperature has been above 35°C. Today’s high was 41°C, (105.8°F) as was yesterday, and the day before.
Here is a list of the seeds I have sown so far.
Brassicas
Brussel Sprouts - Long Island
Broccoli Green Dragon and Di Ciccio
Cauliflower - Macerati Green, Purple Sicily and Rober
Pak Choi - Shuko
Lettuce - Green Mignonette, Freckles, and Butternut
Spinach - Red Kitten
Here is how they are doing after six days.
As soon as the weather starts to cool down I will be sowing all of the carrot, turnip, parsnip, wombok cabbage, and pea seeds.
There is still a week of warm to hot days ahead so while I wait for the weather to change I will order some compost to top up the vegetable beds, and dream of the harvest to come.
Until next time, stay safe and be kind to each other.
