Seeds seeds seeds!

Today I have planted seeds in my heated propagator:

- Orange Baby Bell Pepper (9 pots)
- Pumpkin Jack of All Trades
- Pumpkin Racer
- Butternut Squash Pilgrim
- Butternut Squash Sprinter (2 pots)
- Winter Squash Spaghetti Square Pyjamas

I am a little worried that it may be a bit early for the pumpkins, but with a bit of luck I can harden them off a bit in the greenhouse before they have to venture out into the chill of the garden.

The stir fry veg in the greenhouse is getting quite big: the mixed salad & spring onions seem to be developing a lot slower though, and there is no sign of the basil at all yet. All the basil I planted indoors has germinated though, and the coriander is also starting to show nicely. I'm not sure what to cook with coriander, but I'm sure I will find something!

In other news, Kjetil invited himself along for a walk with the dogs this afternoon, and caught a pheasant. He let him go when I yelled at him and he flew away (the pheasant, not the cat, thankfully. The cat is enough trouble without the ability to fly).

I'd love to see Kjetil flying, I'm sure it would be terribly cute, though I can imagine it would lead to all kinds of trouble.

I have been gardening today too, I broke my fork trying to dig out the evil buddlia that wants to dominate the garden :-( I planted our new Kentish Cobnut though and finally planted out the Elderflower and the Morello cherry, they had become very pot-bound, so I hope they enjoy their new freedom and don't just die with the shock... I must buy my seeds, T&M sent me a 25% off voucher as they noticed I hadn't bought any yet this year, it expires tomorrow though.

Woe for fork incident.

Re: potbound: I've just realised that I have a chestnut tree that has been stuck in the same tiny pot since the last century. *guilt*

That's called "bonsai" ;-)
