That was quick!

I sowed some peas, mange tout, marigold, tomatoes and peppers indoors on Apr 30.

Already, I see today the peas, mange tout and marigold are sprouting.

Makes me think I’ve been sowing wrong before. The last batch I sowed in to a plastic greenhouse; most have germinated but not everything. Maybe it was too soon.

I also wonder whether I have always put too much earth on top of seeds. An episode of Gardeners World I saw recently advised only a thin sliver on top.

    It always amazes me when seeds do come up! My peas have failed spectacularly not one has come up! Dug about a bit and they had all rotted :( Probably old peas, better luck next time
