Moved the first batch of seedlings from under grow light and into the greenhouse.

These have grown pretty well under the grow light. They are instead of buying in early plants from the seed companies.

Began the first major sowing session of the season. I’m planning on germinating onions and leeks indoors under growlight. Hopefully, this will speed up germination and also avoid any problems with mice who seem to enjoy digging up these seeds. 

 

Onion – Red Baron
Parsley – Plain Leaved

All last year’s remaining sweet pea seeds were sown. Seeds were mixed as we had different numbers of each variety. Our sweet pea plants growing in the greenhouse over winter were trimmed back.
