repotting and setting more seed

The Roma F1 tomatoes which were started at the end of Jan on the kitchen windowsill have been transplanted twice in some cases now and are now in the little greenhouse, inside the bigger greenhouse in the garden. Hopefully that should keep them warm enough over the next few nights while it remains coolish.

Also transplanted were the gardeners delight tomatoes as they had outgrown their little pot that they were started in and there are about 40 plants. Hopefully most of them will make it as tomatoes are one of my biggest uses in the kitchen and I've only just run out of last years from the freezer.


The peppers also started at the end of Jan on the kitchen windowsill have now quite a couple of pairs of true leaves, so they have been moved on into their own large ish plugs. They are growing on for the time being on the bathroom window sill.

Also moved on into plugs were the double blue cornflower, the bedfordshire filibasket(?) sprouts, and the dwarf dahilas.

This evening my eldest daughter has planted her seed packs that she bought

And I have sown Echinacea bravado, flat leaf parsely, wallflower, and more aubergine early long purple 2 (as the first lot has succumb to damping off - though the 2 very early sowings that I thought were doing nothing and moved to the exposed shelving in the garden have started to germinate outside)
