I was a little undecided whether to go to the plot and do some digging or get some brassica seeds sown at home. A shower at lunchtime convinced me I might be better off sowing some seeds in the greenhouse at home. Along with brassica seeds I sowed some lettuce and broad beans seeds all to germinate and grow on in our greenhouse. Details are on the Sow Grow Harvest button at the top of the blog page.

I've sown all these brassicas in John Innes compost. The first sowing of cabbages (Primo) raised under our grow light looked a little peaky when they were moved to the greenhouse. They looked as though they needed some better compost. I only had a bag of the same compost and used that to pot up the seedlings which are now growing away well and will soon be ready to transplant in the allotment. So was it the conditions under the grow light or the compost I'm not sure which.

Our home greenhouse is now full so today I moved our new Kiwi, Cobnut and Japanese Wineberry out of the greenhouse to make a little space for the brassicas and other seeds sown today. As soon as the ground is prepared our new fruits will be moved into their final positions.
