Leeks seeds and early cauli


Of all the seeds popping up at present it is the leek seeds that make me smile. They come folded over and then straighten up and often keep the seed husks like little caps!  These are a new variety for us - Crusader F1, just for a change as we have grown the old Mussleborough for some years.  You can see more of our seed sowing on YouTube channel Grow to eat.

We are still getting a few veg from last year from outside. Tops of Brussel sprouts and odd bit of kale that is quickly going to seed. Usually we have Cauliflower in the poly tunnel to fill that gap but this years have not really come to much. This very small head today. Well, it is fresh and supplements BirdsE frozen peas!


Sigh. Had to buy some carrots this week. First for over two years.

Come on spring I need fresh veg!!

  1. Nothing nicer than some veg straight from the garden. You are an inspiration to all of us wannabe gardeners.

    1. Thanks. I've been out in the one sunny spell today and given the reluctant to grow spinach some water and a good talking too!
