Yesterday, 2 Sept, was a beautiful spring day (unlike today!). The sunshine inspired me to get out there and sow seeds for planting out in late October.
I sowed the following:
Parsley (Italian flat leaf) – sprinkled half the packet in the herb section of the vegetable garden, the other half in the herb patch at the backdoor
Beans
– Peans x 8 seeds (my seeds, 4 hole punnet, 2/hole)
– Scarlet runners x 6 seeds (my seeds, 6 hole punnet)
– Gila Indian x 8 seeds (my seeds, 4 hole punnet, 2/hole)
Chard – Rainbow and Ruby x 3 seeds of each (Koanga Gardens)
Corn
– Chieftain F1 x 12 seeds (Kings seeds, 2 x 6 hole punnets)
– Sweet early gem x 10 seeds (Koanga Gardens, 10 hole punnet)
Capsicum
– Sweet mix x 6 seeds (Koanga gardens)
– Chocolate x 6 seeds (my seeds)
Cabbage
– Copenhagen market x 3 seeds (Kings seeds)

Broccoli

Cauliflower

Fennel (bulb) – Florence x 6 seeds (Koanga Gardens)
Zucchini – Cocozelle x 4 seeds (Kings seeds, 2 in each of 2 purple pots)
Pumpkin

I moved the broad beans and tomatoes to the glasshouse as they were getting a little spindly on the kitchen bench. They will need planting out soon.
