Potting Up

Observing

• the first broad beans are just starting for form.. around 1cm long at this point
• The Perennial leeks are just starting to set offshoots..YAYS
• Compost tomatoes have started to germinate.. it seems they think it was warm enough to spout even if we got a blast from the Antarctic last week
• it's been a real struggle to get the warm weather plants moving.. I think we have just had too much overcast for them to be getting enough light to decide to go.
