A barrage of seeds

Now the warm weather is here we can seriously get a move on with the planting that is needed. Better yet now we have a decent place to keep the seeds whilst they germinate and get going.
So here are a few of the ones we kicked off today. Others will follow over the next few weeks. After all, we don't want them all to fruit at the same time.

Yes, I said "we". It's not often I can persuade the other half to join me at the plot, but now the weather is a little better she is more inclined to come out to play.
But even she was impressed with our haul of seeds. And there is still much to be done outside the greenhouse too. But for now she is content with this.

Incidentally, make note of the the labels in the seed trays. These are in fact the remains of a milk carton. We buy Cravendale milk, the 4 pint size bottles. Why? Well it's filtered so it lasts longer. But once the milk is finished the carton, being a white plastic, can be cut up to make marking labels. Why anybody would actually buy separate labels is beyond me. Just make your own.
