Germination Stations!!

[Eyren]

I really can't use any windowsills this year due to manic mad kittens, but the greenhouse is getting full exciting innit

Same here, piskie - what kinda kitties do you have? My Burmese are three years old, but they still race around the house like maniacs

All the shelves in my conservatory are full atm - with the most temptingly grass-like ones (onions and leeks) carefully protected from the cats...

Not a great pic - Its a bit unruly at the moment but hey....Its only for another month or so...

Im chuffed to bits with my heritage peas! 100% germination although did manage to kill off a few weakling tomatoes. Still only one window sill left ..... and lots to sow. Holding back abit now so I can create a bit of space when moving stuff into greenhouse, already started putting cabbage seedings, shallots etc into coldframe.

I'm glad it's not just me that gets all excited when things start to germinate!!

I need to get caught up as I'm a bit behind this year ( I think it's due to the bad weather ). I have plenty of allotment stuff on the go but only have a few tomatoes sown for the greenhouse, need to get some peppers, aubergines and cucumbers in. Havn't got a single windowsill that I can use for seed sowing but have a good sized hot bench that I made this year.

Hi Broadway and fearie - Once they've germinated and are large enough to be handled I advise taking them out and potting them into modules or pots.

If only a few seeds have germinated I take the seedlings out and leave the rest in the propagator to continue germinating.

Leaving the seedlings in too long will cause them to get "leggy" - meaning they grow really long stems. Hope this helps!

I've taken over our back bedroom now for my little uns'. Gonna take a pic of this. OOOO and more peas up tonight!! Thats me up to 7!

Hello Victoria26,

Most of the seeds are in individual pots so moving won’t be an issue. When I move them out do I put them on the windowsill, reason for the question is I was under the impression that they would become leggy on the sill as well?

Victoria, I noticed a small, teeny, wee space on your windowsill still to be filled My windowsills are full, in the kitchen I have the moon trial pots- toms and peppers. Bathroom is my cacti (my Christmas cacti is flowering again - don't know why). Bedroom is 10 Lemon Drop chillis and Alpine Strawberries. Living room is 18 Pretty in Purple chillis and lots of Diametre. Onions are outside in Greenhouse. All I can say is I live in a wee bungalow and I'm not out of space. Unfortunately I'm still itching to plant more
