Planning for summer 
Summer may be some way off but it does no harm to start thinking about just what you want to achieve in the garden (or on the balcony) this year…

This genus of plant can be divided into bulbing and non-bulbing types, with onions and shallots the bulb type and leeks and Welsh onions not producing bulbs…

Germination has failed but I got a plan!
Starting lettuce in pots 
Every windowsill and balcony should have a salad garden. Growing lettuce in pots indoors ensures young healthy plants are ready and growing for when the temperatures finally rise outside.

Vorig jaar heb ik met succes paprikaplanten kunnen kweken met behulp van de Denomethode, zoals beschreven op de site van Diane's Mooie Moestuin (link verderop). Dus dat wilde ik dit jaar ook weer doen.
Foto 1, 2 en 3: op 6 februari gestart met 4 verschillende soorten. Lombardo, King of the North, Early Red en Ferenc Tender. De zakjes op ons modem geplakt.
Foto 4: Op 12 februari kwamen de eerste worteltjes tevoorschijn.
Foto 5 en 6: Op 22 februari wortels en blaadjes. Tijd om ze in een potje te zetten. De potjes staan in de vensterbank met een doorzichtige kap extra eroverheen voor meer warmte.
Foto 7: De eerste echte blaadjes zijn te zien. Nu krijg ik steeds meer hoop dat we ook dit jaar weer paprika's uit onze eigen tuin kunnen eten!
Kweek jij ook zelf paprika's?

Last year I have grown with succes peppers with the Denomethod. So this year I would try this again.
Pict 1, 2 & 3: At 6 febr I started with 4 different peppers: Lombardo, King of the North, Early red and Ferenc Tender. I taped the packages with the seeds to our modem.
Pict 4: At 12 febr are the first roots visible
Pict 5 & 6: At 22 febr there are roots and leaves. Time to pot them on. They are in the windowsill now with an extra transparent lid for more warmth.
Pict 7: At 9 March you can see the first roots. Now I am getting more and more hopeful that we really can eat again our own grown peppers this year.
More info of the Denomethode you can find here:

It is in Dutch, but there are good pictures.
Do you grow your own peppers?

Salad season 
Over the next few weeks is the perfect salad season, just after the winter chill has passed and before the summer heat arrives.

@ferret
And as I've been shouting from the rooftops lately: if you are at all able, start a veggie garden.
Garden design idea 
When planning a garden for the year it is important not to be set in your ways and just keep repeating the same exercise from previous years.

trypophobia
What on earth has been living in my leeks? I pulled out a dead one to find this? Next one over was similar, still had it's roots and a bit of life left (mmmm dinner).

Early beans: Starting broad beans 
These fast growing beans can be planted in the autumn to over-winter or in early spring (February/March) for a summer crop. They grow well in soil or in containers.

Vertical Gardening 
In the urban city garden there is often no option but to use vertical space. Ground conditions in a city space often mean dampness and an increase in slugs and snails at ground level.

Early tomatoes
While it is still still too early to start summer tomatoes from seed indoors (end of February), it is well worth starting some Russian and Eastern European tomato seeds.
