One week on ....

Last Sunday the propagator looked like this:


Now it looks like this:


Most of the onions have germinated (left tray), the leeks are just starting to germinate (right tray) as are the chillis (3 small pots). Success! The coriander and basil are up so I've moved them onto a bright sunny windowsill to grow on. In their place I have put a tray of alpine strawberries that require 18-21 degrees for germination. I have also sown:

  • 1 pot of cauliflower "All The Year Round" from the mix veg pack of seeds (8 seeds sown)
  • 1 pot of cabbage "Golden Acre" from the mix veg pack of seeds (8 seeds sown)
  • 1 pot Dill (these seeds smell amazing!)
  • 1 tray of Cosmos "Psyche White" (approx 20 seeds)
These are all currently residing on a sunny windowsill. The Cosmos and Dill are for the cutting patch at the allotment. Most of the other flower seeds can't be sown until March. I have a feeling that every free bit of windowsill is going to be packed with pots by Easter!
