Seeds, seeds and yet more seeds!

I seem to have done nothing else but sow seeds, check seeds, water seeds.

When my husband said “why don’t you put some seed trays in the front bedroom” (got no bed in it). Because it gets sun all day, it is the warmest room in the house.

I did not need a second telling, me and pots and progerators were up there.

Within a week the seeds had burst out, the “winners” were two variety of minture cucumbers, follwed by mange tout peas and sweet peas. These have all been potted on into the next size pots.

Now the trays of pots are going outside for the daytime, but coming into the conservatory over night. They seem to be getting the hang of the routine.

Next job, is to give the raised bed another going over in readiness to plant.

Busy days are here again!

I couldnt agree more. I have to get up 30 mins earlier to switch off some propagators, take lids of some , make sure all watered for the day, decide how many vents to open , do i leave the door open or half open or fully closed. then the reverse at night. they had all better grow.
enjoyed the blog.

Good idea to bring the plants in for the night Marge. We can still have frost now.
