Wanted - Eglu Cube Mk1 Roosting Bars

[Chillicat]

I've got loads of seeds coming up and they are all yellow flowers ready for my BBQ in August...........having a yellow theme this year!

I've got Calendular, marigolds, nasturtiums, sunflowers, sweetpeas and tagetes...........got any other for yellow flowers I can grow from seeds?

And what are you all growing?

[PurpleTree]

I'm growing sunflowers, love them. I've put two different types, the normal big yellow one, and one that's browney, red-y, orangey colours. I hope they all come up anyway.

 

My mum's got a greenhouse full of things, so will probably get some green beans off her, and possibly some tomato plants.

 

I'm having to plant everything in my front garden this year though, so they're safe from the chickens.

[quinlan]

Lots of different types of beans, squash, pumpkin, spinach, lambs lettece, cherry tomatoes, herbs, leeks, sunflowers (that my son planted at nursery!) marigolds, nasturtiums, mangetout, carrots.......think thats all from seed, sweet peas... Think thats all from seed!!

 

Loving watching them all pop up!!!

[Lesley]

I don't grow many flowers but grandchildren did sow sunflower seeds this afternoon.....

 

Veggies sown from seed are Sweetcorn, runner beans, french beans, broad beans, lettuce, herbs, carrots, tomatoes, chillies, peppers, aubergines,melons, cucumbers, courgettes, butternut squash, radish, parsnip,salad leaves, spring onions, beetroot....I think that's it......

I've done a bit of seed planting recently, with the help(?) of my children.

 

Sunflowers, Sweetpeas, cherry toms, big toms, cucumbers, lettuce, runner beans, carrots, turnips, melons, sweetcorn, beetroots and radishes. Also onions and pots - not quite seeds!

[jenimac]

Have been busy lately planting plenty of veg seeds in preparation for my new raised beds that are going to be built hopefully in two weeks time. Pototoes are doing very well and aim to plant more this weekend.

Its ironic that I'm restarting this just as my kids leave home.

[Old Speckled Hen]

My hubby's grandson and I are planting a pumpkin seed on Saturday from which he will have a lantern for Halloween. ( I've bought a pumpkin plant as a backstop, though he won't know that)

I had to replace my daughter's sunflower last year that she had grown at school with a spare that I had grown when the slugs ate it.

 

We grow most of our stuff from seed, I am a bit behind with flowers this year but we have loads of veg done. The only things that we buy as plants are tomatoes so that we get a range of varieties without buying loads of seed, cucmbers, couregettes and pumpkins because again we only want a few plants.

[Cinnamon]

Once you have love in a mist you have it for good, I have loads of self sown seedlings every year in my front garden, ufortunately they all seem to be the same colour, pale blue.

[C&T]

After creating a large "chicken proof" (well, only one got in once so far...) veggie plot, we have sown:

 

4 types tomatoes

Spinach

2 types of Cabbage

2 types of lettuce

2 types of runnerbeans

Sweetcorn

Squash

Carrots are going in this weekend.

 

The Gooseberry bush is looking full of fruit, and the early blueberry bush also looks as though it will have a reasonable crop. And this year I have netted over the fruit from wild birds already, to avoid losing a load of the fruit like I did last year...

 

Fingers crossed for a productive season!!

[Olly]

A yellow plant I've grown successfully from seed in the past is Thunbergia (Black Eyed Susan). It climbs (or trails) and flowered prolifically as I recall!

 

So far I've got: parsnip and beetroot in the ground (nothing showing yet )

 

In the greenhouse: tomatoes, courgettes, butternut squash, sweetcorn and cucumbers

Hollyhocks and lavender

On my bedroom windowsill (really should be pricked out and in the greenhouse/veg bed by now) more hollyhocks, leeks and aubergines

 

In the kitchen on the windowsill: parsley, basil,catnip and gaillardia.

 

The catnip, hollyhocks, and gaillardia are for my new summer-flowering border, and I'm going to sow nigella and gypsophila straight into the ground... if can ever get round to it!
