After another early morning frost it turned out to be a nice sunny day. We should probably have been planting potatoes but instead we had a walk around the nature reserve at Walton.

Once we were back home I made the best of the weather getting some more brassicas, lettuce, flowers seeds and some extra tomato seeds sown. Our broad beans and onion sets, planted in cells until we can get them planted on the plot, were moved into the cold frame to make more growing space in the greenhouse.
I was having a quick inspection of a later sowing of broad beans when I spotted this seedling sprouting in one of the cells.
I'm pretty sure that this is a tomato seedling. It’s had no TLC at all as the broad beans have just been left in the cold greenhouse to germinate but this must grow tomato seed has germinated first. Perhaps I think I need to give seeds more care and attention than they need. As a test I've left the seeds I’ve sown today in the greenhouse although they are under a propagator cover to keep them a little warmer - just can’t resist a little bit of extra protection.

I'm sure we all must cosset our seeds too much. I left my tomato seeds in the greenhouse with a propagator lid after sowing, but they never got going. I ended up bringing them in the house for a few days to germinate, but they were moved back out there as soon as they had.
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't sound too hopeful for my tomato seeds then. Only one way to find out.
