In, Out, In, Out Nutty Plan

The one you've all been waiting for - my next Nutty Plan.  Rolleyes

Every time I go out into the garden I take with me some seeds, find a little spot of bare soil and scatter the seeds...................BUT I can't return to the house empty-handed. I have to pick something, edible or not, as part of the Nutty Plan. 
As you may know, I have lots of seeds, some of which will never make it to my "Must sow" list so this is my way of giving them a chance of life. I'm thinking of a shoebox sized patch of ground, nothing too big or requiring much clearance. Also, I wont worry about it being the right time of year to sow them, it'll be their choice whether they grow or not!

Veggie sits back and awaits the comments. Big Grin

That all sounds reasonable for a Veggie plan.  Cool 

Just one question. How are you going to know what is coming up if the seeds do decide they want to grow?  What’s going to stop you pulling them up thinking they’re weeds / unknown plants . Especially when you need space for your next nutty ( but obviously brilliant  Blush ) plan .

Are you keeping the seed packets (these are out there somewhere) as a reminder. Or are you doodling a little plan on the back of an envelope? Anything?

Your one question is easily answered - I only weed the plants I recognise as weeds - never the plants I don't, just in case its a valuable self-seeder.
Seed packets kept? Not once they're empty. I'll make a note in my diary of what was sown and a rough location.
I'm going to match it to the Advent calendar theme - 1st of the month is A so today, I need an F seed. Simple!

My wacky ideas usually have a limited lifespan - until I think of another one! Roots, Shoots, Fruits and Leaves emerges regularly but this time of year there's not much call for that!
The 30 Bed plan is no more as I've merged some of the beds, not sure how many there are now - so they became the 4 week strip system.
Can't remember what other ones there have been!

IN today went some Fennel seeds (sow by 2018!) and I picked some Lovage. Not sure what I'll do with that yet but it looks good in a vase as foliage. Big Grin

The plans get more complicated. What happened to the book for each month?

Ah, the Diary books! I started about 6 of them, and some were used for a second year. One day, I'll revisit them.Big Grin

I had my G seeds already to sow - Geranium pyrenaicum albiflorum (dated 2014) but it hasn't stopped raining all day. I'll have to sow them with H tomorrow and pick 2 things to catch up.

This Nutty Plan is not going to plan! Really heavy rain today - road awash heavy. I've added some H is for Hellebore seeds to the "must sow tomorrow" pile.
