I have new babies!

I've spent pretty much the whole weekend either in the greenhouse, re-potting, watching, waiting and daydreaming or sitting infront of the laptop reading, updating and learning.

The seedlings are really starting to take shape now....

Turnip

5 days old

Tomatoes

12 days old

I'm gonna have to re-pot these soon!

Sunflowers

12 days old

Newly aquired Strawberries!

Age: Approx 1 year

Really not sure what I should be doing with these at this time of the year. Should really get round to reading up on them. Mum said she didn't get much fruit off them last year. So she's given me a whole pot to see how we both compare this year.... This is an ultimate test for me! Haha

Spinach

6 days old

These have only been like this since putting in the greenhouse yesterday. As when I fetched them outside from the comfort of my windowsill, it just looked like a paper pot full of compost with a lolly stick label.

Rocket Salad

7 days old

Re-potted and looking very healthy, quite proud of the herbs.

Radish

6 days old

The label says 10 seeds. This is overall. There are only two seedlings in this pop bottle. Self watering too, thought I'd throw my crafty side into gardening.... Saves me more pennies too!

It would appear that the carrots are LOVING it in the greenhouse! Just a shame the frame isn't gonna hold. We had some pretty gusty winds this morning and a few more joints have cracked :(

Carrots

7 days old

Broccoli

CabbageWhilst browsing lastnight I stumbled across another Swap Seed site and thought I'd give it a go and I already have my first swap going! I'm trading my Basil (Dark Opal) for some Cornflower Blue Balls. Not too hopeful about growing flowers from seeds, but I was talking to hubby lastnight about our front garden and we have decided to work with a blue/purple/white theme and we think (or should I say, I think) that these will work with our theme.


Thats about it for today. Looking forward to a lovely Sunday Roast tomorrow, so might not grab a minute to update. This should keep you going for a few days :)

It's all going on in my pots!

Okay, a few more pics:

Radish

2 days old

Turnip

You can't really make much out in this pic. But it's there, up by the label stick.... Just starting to poke through!

Sunflowers

9 days old

Looks like I might be re-potting these shortly. They've gone a little mad!

Basil

4 days old

Cabbage (left) and Cauliflower (right)

4 days old

Tomato

9 days old

Wow, not doing so bad now are they?

Mustard Greens (left) and Leaf Mix (right)

4 days old

Rocket Salad

4 days old

I think I'll have to start grouping them together to snap pic updates. As uploading them all to blogger and labelling them all properly seems a lengthy process and sometimes a little confusing, especially since all the herbs and things are quite similar.

Still no progress on the carrots, hopefully something will come up soon!
