Running out of room

Space is a problem. I've just transplanted 31 acrolinium, and 18 aster seedlings into individual pots. These are now taking up even more space in our one bedroomed flat. At least the wind has dropped so the broad beans and sweet peas have gone back outside on the balcony. The tomatoes have gone outside tonight as well as it is mild here, but will need to keep an eye on them. My spreadsheet tells me I should be sowing the broccoli, leeks and lettuce in modules this month, but they are just going to have to wait until there is a bit more space.

Speedy seeds

The acrolinium started to germinate yesterday and here they are this morning. Looks like it doesn't really matter how they were sown, they are all coming up fine.

Two other varieties of flower seeds were sown on February 26th - Rudbeckia (Chim Chiminee), and Aster (Florette Champagne). These may be more challenging fo me, as need more heat to germinate, both could take up to 21 days to germinate.
