Too early still here so mine are pretty much like Dan's but with different writing  ;D   Not long now though

Mine have gone in today as well as most of the other first sowings I do, little greenhouse is full. My new polytunnel cover should arrive on monday so revving up for a busy weekend next weekend as I have my new veg patch to fill and it is huge.
I have planted - moneymaker, gardeners delight, roma, beefsteaks and some i have never heard of. I can never have enough tomatoes as I like to make sauces and freeze it for the winter months.

I have Big Red (beefsteak) and roma (plum) on my window sill.  Actually, I have pots of compost on my window sill but I'm sure they'll be through soo with all this sun streaming in.

Chairman Phil - when are you going to pot on your tomatoes ? - they are beginning to look a bit crowded and will have run out of nutrients.  Probably sour grapes because I won't be sowing mine for another couple of weeks  ;D ;D ::)  I have just sown my chillies and put them in the propagator, but it will be a few days before anything shows  :chili:
The broad beans are looking good - that's my job for today, sowing broad beans.

this saturday i am going to pot them in square 4" pots which should do them for a month or so. i am soaking red and blue corn at the moment and i think they are going in this weekend too. they have just started leaning the last couple of day so i think you are absolutely right! got some raspberry dry roots to put in too! i will get some pics up while it is all going on!  :thumbsup:
