Greenhouse mid-Feb sowings


On 12 February we sorted through all the packets of seeds we've accumulated, wondering where to start. We just sorted them into four piles; sow NOW, sow end Feb, sow March, sow later. Wearing wellies equals quick decisions, clearly. When it comes to more sophisticated, sequential planting, we can always fine-tune next week or next month or whenever we'll be more organised. A is VERY GOOD at sowing and enjoyed using her brand new tools for dibbing?? and patting?? (I'll find out what they're called.) The image shows part of the new set of seedlings: two types of tomato (Marmand and Gardener's Delight), parsley, brassica oleracea gemmifera i.e. Brussels sprouts, artichokes, mixed leaf.
