Plant A Seed
I read this somewhere - 'Forget dusting, go outside, plant a seed.'
I took it to heart. The forgetting to dust was the easy part. I don't even feel bad about that any more, Instead I feel guilty if I don't get round to planting that seed. This month I should have sown, according to the following handy list,
Amaranth
Beetroot
Chinese cabbage
Calabrese
Carrots, early varieties
Carrots, maincrop varieties
Cauliflower
Chicory
Courgettes, marrows and pumpkins
Fenugreek
Florence fennel
French beans
Runner beans
Kohl rabi
Lettuce
Salad onions
Pak choi
Peas
Pumpkin
Radish, mooli
Sweet corn
Swede
Turnip
And so far, with just one week of June left, I've only managed to sow fennel, radishes, cabbage, lettuce, turnips and peas. At least, with dusting, there are no time restrictions. And I don't even know what amaranth is!

It said plant A seed, so you've done your part. It's proud of you I am!
There were a few I've never heard of Fenugreek, and Pak choi. Will have to look those up.
I think it is an American list. I know fenugreek as a spice and I have pak choi growing already.
What would you done with all those things anyway? I think you should plant things you want to eat. This year I obviously just want to eat things from shops
nice one Leitrim sister! says LS
