Vegie Seedlings

They get a drink every morning and it shows, the seeds that were planted direct into the rose garden are taking well




Seems that nearly all of the lettuce have started growing now - shown below is the biggest. I've got some iceberg lettuce seeds too now so I'll need to find space for these and get them started























The peas are all lined up in a row - so many infact that they'll need thinning out over the next few weeks - Don't want to do this too early though as I'm sure to lose a few between now and then

























The broccolli are the tallest of all the seeds planted and by far doing the best of the lot. There's about 20 or more plants all about 1 to 2 inches high - Will definately need some thinning - question will be, where to transplant the thinned plants to???











The silverbeet cannot boast the same growth as the seedlings above. I've been checking every morning, but so far, just weeds. There MIGHT be one plant that looks a little different to the others... Time will tell...

The seedlings planted out the front last weekend have not shown yet. The delphenium is a known slow starter and can take 4 to 5 weeks to emerge. but the shallots???? hmmm..... keep watering and waiting

Below are a few flowery pics taken this morning. BTW, click on the pictures to see larger ones!....
