sunshine and sowing seeds

 

I'm making the most of the sunshine this morning and sewing my herb seeds, I was meant to do it last weekend. The upcycled table that Ian repaired last year comes in handy for potting seeds (but it is the dog grooming table!)

I bought the Stewart kitchen garden propagator kits from Wilkos last week, £5 each and they come complete with four olive green matching pots. Cute and pracical. I've put some pea shingle on the base, I normally use old newspapers but couldn't find any this morning. And Wilko have an offer on seeds, 3 for 2 great value and cheaper than the supermarket. If you live near The Range they offer 2 packs of De Ree seeds for 99p. I already had the seed compost un-opened from last year.

Seeds

chives - decorative pink flowes and mild onion flavour leaves

basil sweet - mild aniseed flavour. Easy to grow it quickly produces succulent leaves on the windowsill

parsley Moss Curled - very versitile, easy to grow in pots on the windowsill. Once established transfer to veg patch where it will happily grow for a couple of years 

dill (Anethum graveolens) - sweet aniseed flavour is perfect for adding to sauces, salads or soups. An attractive hardy plant with feathery leaves. Grows best in a sunny spot < The Range 2 packs for 99p>


and I've taken my granny squares outside, warm sunny garden, hot cup of tea!
