January Seedlings

Hello everyone!

Happy New Year to all - I hope the year is treating you well so far! I am energised and excited for the months to come.

The temperatures have dropped even further here so the garden has come to somewhat of a standstill. My lovely dwarf French beans are suffering with the chilliness of it all but most things are soldiering through it. In a couple of weeks it should be Spring again!

I ambitiously started off some seed trays a few weeks ago in the greenhouse and things are starting to come alive, so I thought I would share them with you.

These little guys are my second sowing of the French beans I spoke of before. By the time they get bigger I am hoping temperatures will rise so they have a better chance at survival!

Can't ever have too much broccoli in my house... it is my favourite vegetable after all! I sowed more Calabrese as my first attempt didn't go so well, the poor little seedlings were pretty leggy. These are looking far sturdier!

This is my first attempt at growing Lyon Prizetaker leeks.. aren't these seedlings just the cutest? I have some Giant Winter ones growing in the polytunnel and they have been deliciously successful so I am hoping my Prizetakers follow suit!

Last but not least, some Rocket. I was very kindly gifted these seeds from a very experienced gardener, nothing better than homegrown seeds!

That's all from the greenhouse. I hope you enjoyed having a little look :)

Happy gardening!
