Time to plant seeds




Time to start putting in some seeds. I put some seeds in last Wednesday. We are still having lots of rain so I've place them under a eve to give them protection from the full sun and heavy rain, as you can see in the images.
I've planted some Mignonette and Cos Lettuce,Pak Choy, White raddish, Tomatoes & Capsicum I bought from the supermarket and squeezed out the seeds, Bok Choy seeds I harvested last year - it's been about 4 days and no Bok Choy yet. also some Italian Parsley and some shallots. As they come up I'll thin them out to 1 plant per cell and plant them out in the garden in about 1 month.
The best way to sow seeds easily in my experience is directly into the place they will grow - sow my than you need and then thin.
They are much more hardy and able to with stand the heat of the sun and other elements.
