Seed time

I am always on the late side with sowing seeds indoors. There are no suitable window sills in the house and seedlings tend to get too leggy before they can be planted out.
Now I have a sunroom (we glassed-over the balcony) and I'm going to see how seedlings do in there.

Planted in peat pots:
Sweet pea - Old Fashioned Mixed
Runner bean - Hestia

I've never had any luck with runner beans before, the leaves have gone papery as soon as they are planted out. I might keep these indoors longer if that is possible. I wanted broad beans but there were none in the garden shops, just runner and peas. Fingers crossed. The sweet peas are because I love the smell so much. No idea if they will do much here.

Planted in plastic trays (1 or two seeds per space):
Calendula - Art Shades
Antirrhinum - Tom Thumb Mixed
Broccoli - (Stem) Kalibroc F1
Tomato - Ailsa Craig
Pepper - (Sweet) Minimix
Coriander - Delfino
Parsley - Plain Leaved 2
Basil - Sweet Genovese

Those are the seeds that caught my eye this year. The coriander claims to be slower to bolt than the normal one, it has pointed leaves. Most of these are for growing indoors I think - unless global warming really takes off! I have carrots and parsnips to sow outside when that is possible. The seed trays are all covered with plastic and at the moment are on the landing - as the seeds germinate I'll move them somewhere lighter. I used some imported potting compost, mixed with some fine pumice.
