Up early and it's very windy but no rain yet so I have decided to do some sowing before the rain comes and stops play for the day.
Sowing 01-2016 Was 3 plug plant trays 72 x Onions and I managed a germination of 3 !! it could have been last years seed compost, in fact the seed compost could have been two years old, or It just could have been the seed, so a new bag of compost for sowing 02
Cabbages
8 x Greyhound
8 x Golden Acre
8 x Hispi F1 Hybrid
8 x Savoy Estoril F1 Hybrid New for 2016
Brussels Sprouts
8 x Revenge F1 Hybrid
8 x All Year Round (Purple)

Sow by 2014 but worth a try
8 x All The Year Round
My very first year on the allotment I grew what can only be described as magnificent Brassica, Since then I have had continued success with Brussels Sprouts and Cabbage but have never quite achieved the same success with Cauliflower and I just have given up with Broccoli
What's the difference I hear you ask? Nothing apart from the colour and the cost, because they do like to rip off us gardeners.
Its not been used since last year but it's out again to create labels for new varieties of plants that I'm growing this year. It has to be said the labels are so good they don't fade and you get to use them for quite a few years, and I think the Brother P-Touch is a must have, and an ideal gift for allotment owners and gardeners.
The labels from last year were recovered and wiped clean and stored in one of my seed boxes, yes I have two large plastic toolboxes full of seeds for current use and another for seeds with a use by date of 2017 & 2018 from the Wyevale seed sales
