Growing on

What was that about spring approaching? Surpised by the amount of snow overnight, which you can see on the edges of the pictures. So it was back to the greenhouse and at least get some seeds into a heated propagator.

Seed trays in heated propagator

Taken through the lid of the propagator, at the back we’ve got sweet peas. Front left-hand side has coreopsis, which are new for us, and on the right-hand side some minibel tomatoes.

The propagator is heated from underneath, so there is some slightly damp sharp sand under the trays. At the moment, temperatures vary significantly during the week in the greenhouse if and when the sun appears, so we are occasionally moving things around the staging to alter light and shade, particularly some orchids that we put out last week.

With the lid of the propagator removed, the second picture shows the trays from above, so the tomatoes are at the top right hand side in this shot. It won’t be long before the seeds need potting on, so here’s hoping for better weather!
