Allotments 4 All

Noticed some seedlings just starting to peep through this morning.  As I have been pottering around the house and garden today, I kept going back and taking a look - they have practically grown before my very eyes 8) 8)

Peas - 1 this morning and 9 tonight
Chilli - 1 this morning and 3 tonight
Toms -1 this morning and too many to count tonight

Once they decide to wake up, they really go for it.  Bit like the kids really ;D

I know what you mean.  I planted some toms about a week and half ago.  They usually come through like bullets but by middle of this week, nothing.  In the morning I said to hubby - 'doesn't look like these are going to germinate'.  Came home that very same evening and seed tray was like a lawn! Very impressive.

Perhaps you would like to come round and have a word with my aubergines! ???

I do the same - amazing isn't it?

Shame you can't stick the kids in a plastic tray on the window ledge and just water them every morning though ... ;)

and the seedlings don't answer back ;) but quietly sit there appreciating up our TLC

Seedlings don't come demanding instant access to the computer or your wallet either.

13 peas this morning

The cucumbers and mange tout have also decided to wake up.

Now I REALLY need to get my diggin' and weedin' finished.

Totally agree about the kids ::)   
My OH thinks I am bonkers patroling the windowsills to see if anything has popped up in the last 5 minutes - but arent beans wonderful  - up like periscopes before your eyes!!! :D

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh dont let Tim read this thread.   :'(

I've also been amazed and delighted at how quickly some of my seeds have germinated....3 days ago I sowed a seed tray with a mix of oriental 'nice 'n spicy' salad leaves (free from GYO) and other'mixed salad leaves' seed....yesterday I noticed some were 'pushing thru' and today....there are loads of them appearing....now that's quick!....didn't realise any seed could germinate in 48 hours!! and these are sitting on a non-sunny window sill!

;D

Someone told me that germination of celeriac was a bit iffy, I sowed loads cos I love it. Result? I have almost 100% germination and have offered a new plottie some when they are ready for them, first time I have ever been able to do that, it feels GREAT!!! ;D

and there's more......

Sowed a module tray, half with Webbs wonderful and half with Lollo Rosso on Easter Saturday.  Put a propagator lid on and popped them on the 2nd shelf of the mini greenhouse and today they are peeking through already....amazing :o
