Monday was another very pleasant day with plenty of sunshine, above average temperatures and once again no rain.
Our melon seeds have germinated and grown well under our indoor grow light but in order to prevent them becoming over crowded I thought it was time they were transplanted and left to fend for themselves in the greenhouse.

These seedlings have been grown in a multi-purpose compost and have been watered individually rather then relying on the capillary matting. I felt the compost might get a little too wet using the matting. The germination rate was 100%.

Each seedling had developed an excellent root system and the seedlings were easy to remove from the cells which I have found difficult to achieve if the compost is too wet.
