Not sure if these should be in the gallery or not.

I have put them here because they are in my greenhouse (under glass)

Was out with my camera this morning so I thought some of you might want to compare notes with my stuff and yours;

Stuff hardening off in my allotment greenhouse;

Same stuff in close up;

Bedding plants;Its four or five weeks to my planting out time so these should be OK by then;

Some of my brassicas, I normally plant these out mid May, so it looks like they will be just fine for that;

My spray chrysants go out mid to late May so they are about right;

These are my Gladioli, I'm a bit behind with these, should have had them in a couple of weeks ago. Normally I plant insitu, but because of my delay, I planted them up like this as a temporary measure.

Will plant them with a bulb planter.

This is a few lettuce I bring on early as a catch crop, these will go out in the next couple of weeks;
