The sun was lovely and warm earlier today so I sat in the garden and set my tomatoes seeds (sungold/marmande/golden sunrise) & red peppers away in a propagator on a heat mat today.
Potted up my onion sets too, they'll start off in pots for 4-6 weeks in the cold greenhouse, give the soil chance to warm up at the allotment (put plastic over the beds) before I transplant them outside next month.
Thank f--- March is here !

Starting peas, butternut squash and chilli's indoor today, raised beds are topped off, potatoes chitting. As always too many seeds and too little space

I’m not sure chatting off tatties is really necessary. Just leave them in the fridge for ages and they sprout off nee bosh.
Great time of year, I love getting back out in the garden. I have a lot of stuff planted, just waiting for them to grow a bit and warmer weather. Potatoes are easy really it’s just to wet/cold stm but should be good to go in a few weeks.
We have bought the same onion sets again this year.
Centurion and red Barron,about a thousand in total!
Good luck fellas, don’t be shy with the pics when you’re up snd running

Going for bell peppers, cucumber, cherry tomato and a 4 Stephen Hawkin Kush heavy CBD this time.

Making some medication there mate?, blows my mind we get criminalised for this shit, drs have had me on all kinds of stuff since my stroke like morphine for my sub luxated shoulder etc but the only time I really get a pain free sleep is when I eat some canna cookies my mate made me, fortunately he makes me them regular so I have some on hand. I have been tempted just to fill my greenhouse with auto flowers tbh and make butter/oil infusions. Even my dr at my last MOT SAID work would be so much easier if he could just prescribe people butter/gummies to medicate with but as he said, nobody listens and we just ain’t mature enough yet as a nation to accept its beneficial uses.
The uk is still very backwards when it comes to to cannabis and its vast amount of benefits. I live in hope!
Hope it’s turns out well, what you gonna infuse it with? Coconut oil is very good because of its fat content(thc sticks to fat, I assume cbd. Does the same?) and it’s low(or high, I forget) boiling point

I’m not a smoker but my family does. They have gummies and drinks. I don’t like the feeling of being high so I’m trying a heavy CBD this time. It helps with sleep and just general switching off from the world.
I enjoy the process from seed to grind as well. Growing the plant is easy, but growing it well isn’t. 2 summers ago I messed up and ended up putting it back into vegetation after it started to flower. It was a shock but I learnt a lot about it. Then last year I managed to grow one that gave me around 7oz dry. A friend of mine regularly managed to get 9oz+ but he’s been growing since he was a teen
And has thousands worth of equipment.The whole legalizing weed thing is stupid to me. We’ve had it for years and it’s making billions. There’s stores everywhere. I’m not exaggerating here, every street seems to have 1 on it. I live in a city that has a population of just over 700k and has 115 stores, compare that to less than 100 Tim Hortons (a Canadian treasure). It’s a licence to print money for the government.
A few of my marras make coconut oil capsules but they are seriously fking strong, same as gummies made out of RSO, I don’t mind them but it’s a mission just getting outa my chair if I have to many!I’m not a smoker but my family does.

I used to love growing it years ago, learnt so much about gardening in general, I used to grow a lot of orgs if stuff a while back but I stopped when the energy prices went nuts, gets expensive running a couple of 1000w hos lights… led makes it cheaper but I have access to plenty from my mates so I don’t need to take the risk.
The uk is terribly backwards when it comes to cannabis unfortunately, it’s alright to drink yourself to death but just f***ing dare grow some herbs…it’s health benefits can’t be argued against but some will give it a damn good go!
I know a few autoflower growers who swear by them , same as the new fast flowering strains from Spain.
God luck with ur grow anyway

I’m lucky come the summer time I just put my tent outside, it’s 25-35 most days anmd up to 16 hours of daylight over the summer so saves a fortune on heat and light.A few of my marras make coconut oil capsules but they are seriously fking strong, same as gummies made out of RSO, I don’t mind them but it’s a mission just getting outa my chair if I have to many!

Lucky you, it’s doable here in Norfolk if we have a decent summer, last summer was a bit of a wash out tbf so wouldn’t have fancied that but some years it’s scorching for ages and the. It’s more than visible to outdoor it in the UK

Any recommend some good strawberry varieties? Always fancied growing strawberries but the fly larvae worm things put me off. I have read that if you mist them in salt water it helps
In the process of moving house so haven't started an vegetables this year, don't really know what my new garden is going to be like. Did get over excited on a gardening website the other week and ordered the following. Much to the wife's dismay while trying to pack up.
Cherry Stella tree
Crimson bonfire peace
2 x Little Red William pear trees
2 x pink lemonade blueberry
2 x Chilean guava.

Does anyone have a potting shed as well as a greenhouse?
The shed where I keep my gardening stuff is pretty much done for. I usually just use the greenhouse or a table outside for potting stuff up, but was looking at potting sheds too.The windows would be facing north, so I’m not sure how much use it would be.
