First crop

Sunday was cloudy, dry and not too cold. I might have to start thinking about getting some tomato and pepper seeds sown in the next few days to place under our new grow light system. Our experimental lettuce has worked well and we've managed a couple of cuttings so far.

These young lettuce plants together with the basil and cabbage seedlings will have to be into the greenhouse once my tomato and pepper seeds need the indoor lighting system. I'm a bit less optimistic about our first sowing of cabbage seeds. The young plants don't seem to be growing very well. This might be that it's too cold for them in the greenhouse or that there's a problem with the compost. I'm perhaps tending towards the compost at the minute.
