First seedlings of the year...

There's still a week or so to go till the clocks finally change but the nights have drawn out enough to give us about 45 mins of light when we get home from work meaning there's just enough time to get a few things done..


Top of the list last night was some re-potting. The tomato seedlings had got as leggy as I could bare to see them so it was high time to get them into a new container. They look much happier now, all being well they can go into the greenhouse in the next week or so where they'll get far more light than where they are. I left the few other seedlings I don't need in there last night to see if the cold kills them off as a test run.


Next to get the re-potting treatment was those baby chilli seedlings I mentioned last week. I've picked the biggest three to grow on so fingers crossed they do ok. I have to admit I'm a little worried about what they'll turn out like. I'm not too hot on how these things work but I have a feeling chilli's cross pollinate and there were about fourteen varieties stuffed into our greenhouse last year so goodness knows what kind of mutant these offspring will end up being...

How is everyone else's seeds doing?

Your tomatoes look a couple of weeks ahead of mine. I might pot mine one at the end of next week. I've also got a couple of squash seedlings that have come up. Must get some more sown too...
