Things have sprouted

I have a baby geranium that has just formed a proper leaf thing (albeit rather small). I had sown 3 Picasso geraniums (one of the world’s best from T&M) and only 1 seems to be viable. The other 2 sort of germinated but didn’t seem to form a root or stem.

A lot of tomatoes have germinated, but not all the varieties have made a show. I have some onions and leeks as well showing. They are a tad lanky, but I have put some foil up behind.

Herbs, I have parsley (remember there was something on GQT about them being hard to germinate) that has come up, as well as coriander and one type of basil.

Flowers, I have lobelia as well, two types. The seedlings look tiny.

Haven’t started anything outside (or even in the greenhouse) yet. Have been meaning to start some peas off in guttering, having timetabled the task for nearly a fortnight back. I was trying to be organised with a list of tasks in Microsoft Outlook of when to sow what. Oh well, maybe I will be able to get back on track.

Sounds like things are starting to come along nicely. First germinations of the year always make me feel hopeful that spring is only around the corner.
