Planting Seeds - Not me

My girls have really taken the bull by the horns the last few weeks. They've been out there in the garden sowing seeds for me, while I've been doing some other jobs. 

I give them the packets and tell them how many of each we'll probably need and they just get right to it! This was after they cleaned out the greenhouse for me! 

Planting In Early February

 It was our annual seed swap on Saturday and it was as brilliant as ever (I'll do a post on it later in the week), one thing it did was get me really fired up for this years growing! 

I was so fired up I even stopped on the way home and got some compost. I decided that with Sunday being quite warm and sunny for a February day it was ideal to sow a few things and get started. 

Onions Sown

It feels good to start sowing a few seeds and think about the harvest to come in a few months. 

 My middlest child and I went out in the drizzle on Sunday and planted a few trays of onion and shallot seeds, to go on some heat in my bedroom. While we were at it we also sowed some very old chilli seeds - no idea if they'll come up but I figure we've got the heat on, so nothing to loose really! 

In the next few weeks we might start to think about sowing some peas and beans, but rats and mice have been a real problem this year so I'm in no rush to start fighting them already! 

What has everyone else been sowing?
