It is so exciting that its almost time to think about summer tomatoes, cucumbers and capsicum. I can't wait. Oh and basil too! I ordered quite a few varieties of tomatoes to try this year. I'm not sure how they will all go, but it will be interesting to see.
Seeds2freedom are a great online store that sell heirloom varieties of seeds from their farm in Tasmania. You can have a look at their website here.
Listed below are the varieties that I have sown this weekend;
Basil Genovese (Ocimum Basilicum)
Sugar Snap Peas (Pisum Satiuum)
Capsicum California Wonder (Capsicum Annum)
Cucumber Lebanese (Cucummis Satiuus)
Indian River Tomato (Lycopersion Esculertum)
San Marzano Roma Tomato (Lycopersion Esculertum)
Cherry Tomato (Lycopersion Esculertum)
Cut up milk carton to create labels
So many toilet paper rolls!
All planted and labelled ready to go into the hot house...
Tomato seeds to be planted
The thrifty funnel!
Seeds all sorted, planted and ready to grow.
I have tried to be as thrifty as possible with sowing seeds this season, using toliet rolls where possible, and cutting up a milk carton to make labels for them all. A really handy gadget was an orange juice bottle that I cut up to use as a funnel to fill up the TP rolls with soil!
