my first seeding...

This morning I was off work so I decided to start my main seeding considered that I start few seed 2 week ago only because I thought this year to change my compost from peat base to peat free… after I realized that the compost was good for seeding I took all my equipment and start…

The heated propagator is plugged in and I pull out from my shed the seed cell trays, some toilette roll cardboard for peas, some compost ,tweezers,  the label stick and of course the seeds box.

I prefer using cell module tray then the traditional tray, because I find easy to transplant the seedling into a small pot, after I put 2 - 3 seeds in each cell and then I pinch out the other leaving only the strongest one…

For peas and beans I use toilette roll cardboard or peat pots because they hate transplanting so when is come to sow I just put all in the big pots where they will grow...

4 tomatoes garden delight
