Every year we try and grow sweetcorn, and every year we fail! We have tried sowing direct and in modules in the greenhouse. Germination is always patchy or not at all. The other year I sowed 40 fresh seed into modules in the greenhouse and only two germinated! This year we have sown seed "Incredible F1" into 6 x 4 modules to be germinated indoors. It will be interesting to see what happens! The lettuce sown on 13th Feb is now ready to be potted on:
We have:
9 red cos "Intred"
3 "All the Year Round" (most of the seed did not germinate). Two of the plants were quite large so I planted these directly into the raised bed.
12 "Lakeland"
Here is the lettuce potted on:
These will be grown on for another few weeks in the greenhouse before planting out. To keep some succession going I have sown some mixed hearting lettuce and "All the Year Round" in pots on the windowsill.
We are nearing the end of the leeks from the allotment. I will miss them this year:
