The greenhouse is filling up.

The recent spell of warm weather has been both a help and a hindrance to me.  Helping by keeping the greenhouse warm and getting seeds to germinate quicker.  Hindering because some of the germinated seeds scorched and died.


Fortunately this has happened early enough to allow a second sowing, which I have done.  I lost leeks, golden chard, calabrese, spring greens and a type of cabbage along with a couple of red cabbage seedlings.  I salvaged the red cabbage and they are coming along quite well now.  These can be seen in the picture below, they're behind the six pots at the front.  Thankfully the expensive cabbages (front of the picture) have not been touched.

The additional broad beans are almost ready to be transferred to the plot.  These were sown to fill the gaps where the over wintered plants either failed to germinate or died.  Some of the gaps where the broad beans will be going currently have endives planted in them.

The above picture shows the pumpkins (left), courgettes (middle) and basil (right).
