| Tomato, Aubergine and Pepper seedlings |
Things to remember:
* Label up seedlings as you go with a waterproof pen – don’t rely on
memory
* Keep seedlings of the same type in the same tray
if you can
* Remember to water them…
Spring is Coming!
A few warm days have seen me in the polytunnel potting up
some seedlings of Tomato, Aubergine and Pepper. They were all sown middle to end
of February so are ready to move on now. I’m growing a few of each
cultivar and splitting them between the polytunnel and the greenhouse to see
which ones prefer which place. I have a hunch, based on last year, but I’m
kidding myself this time it's more scientific! Pricking out and potting up is
stressful for seedlings so remember to water them in well and then leave out of
direct sunlight for a few hours so they can recover. I write out the labels
before I start – most of mine are made of old yoghurt pots. Just cut down from
the top with a pair of scissors and snip off at an angle.
