Repotting Tomatoes and Chillies, and More Seed Sowing

Hello friends,

It's been another busy week in the garden, with warm and mild weather to welcome the start of spring.

I had to repot my chilli, capsicum and tomato seedlings in the last week, as they'd gotten too big for their plastic small glasshouses in the dining room. They're now happily situated in their now bigger pots with potting mix in the glasshouse, and are sitting in a frame which is wrapped up with multiple layers of frost cloth each night. If there's even a hint of bad frosts or snow, they'll be back inside the house in our spare bedroom until the bad weather passes.

Seed sowing is still underway, and will continue through spring.

Vege seeds sown this week:

  • Pumpkin Crown Prince F1
  • Pumpkin Musquee De Provence
  • Pumpkin Baby Bear
  • Pumpkin Marina Di Chioggia
  • Maize Manaia

Herbs sown this week:

  • Chamomile Roman
  • Chamomile German
  • Catnip
  • Soapwort
  • Marshmallow

Flowers sown this week:

  • Eupatorium Hemp Agrimony
  • Gypsophila Snowflakes
  • Gypsophila Deep Carmine
  • Yarrow Summer Pastels
  • Valerian officinalis

There's so much more seed to sow, and things to do in the garden, but work is also busy right now in the lead up to the Christmas season, with me preparing eco textile products for inclusion in the online craft artisan website Felt gift guide. I hope I can balance the two between now and Christmas.

Have a wonderful day

Julie-Ann
