Seedlings 24 September 2014

Better late than never. The potting shed is still to get off the ground and repairs have not been started to the greenhouse/ seedling facility as yet, because of delays in the building work and other excuses.

We are probably way past the sowing deadline for Spring 2014, but we are nevertheless going ahead on the off-chance of some successes…

24 September, and we start off a few of the seeds from last year, using tow brands of seedling mix, namely 40L of Dalton’s Premium Seed Mix and 15L Yates Black Magic.
