Potting up seedlings

Saturday afternoon was devoted to potting up some of our seedlings. I used soil-based John Inns No.2 compost from our local garden centre (apparently designed for potting on). First up was our onion seedlings. These have been potted into individual plastic cells and have joined the onion sets and chitting potatoes in our utility:

Despite a few casualties in the potting up process there were 84 survivors (out of approx 100 seeds sown).
The door at the end of the pic remains firmly bolted so nobody can inadvertently squash anything! Next up were the brassicas:

You might just be able to makes out the (rather muddy) masking tape demarcating the 8 cabbages (on the rhs) from the 7 cauliflowers (on the lhs). These are also living in the utility. The oriental salads were also ready to be potted on:

These have been potted into biodegradable pots to minimise root disturbance when planting out. Although there are meant to be 4 types of plants (Mizuna, Cima Rapa, Green Pak Choi and Red Mustard), I could only spot 2 different types of seedlings so it will be interesting to see what we get when they are a bit bigger!

The chillis each have a 3-inch pot of their own in the propagator now:

I kept the 8 best plants. The alpine strawberries are taking forever to germinate (left-hand tray), I only have 4 plants thus far. The right-hand tray contains leek seeds (second sowing).

The tomatoes have been moved onto a sunny windowsill. Every single seed germinated except for one of the moneymakers. However, they were only sown a week ago so it may yet put in an appearance:
