At the weekend we took the cabbage and broccoli seedlings that were growing in seed trays and divided them up and potted them on into proper little flower pots. So far they seem to be doing ok. While I was at it, I did the same to the tiny seaside daisy seedlings in another seed tray, although I potted them on in tiny clumps. So far so good. Also, around 25 cauliflower seedlings have arrived in the post, from Thompson and Morgan. The under Gardener has potted them on as well. In addition, he has planted out the 15 brussels sprouts seedlings that arrived a few weeks ago. There are still 25 cabbage plants yet to come. I am not quite sure where we are going to put all these brassicas!!
Things are doing well up on the allotment. The onions are looking wonderful and the broad bean and pea plants are beginning to set pods. The fruit area is looking happy. All we really need now is some decent rain! The weather people, however, are forecasting the possibility of frosts later this week :-S It is, of course, not too late to start again should all the tender summer stuff be got by frost - but it is getting a bit late. And it would be horribly expensive at this late stage !!
And the flower garden continues to flourish.
