Put some more seed trays of hardy veg like spring onions and leeks out in the growhouse, as the conservatory is rather warm today (27ºC) and nearly everything has already germinated.
Took the ungerminated aubergines out of the propagator, which was over 30ºC according to the compost probe, even though I set the thermostat to 20º. I'm beginning to think they got too hot/damp, as I found a tiny shrivelled seedling well below the surface of one pot. The okra is still in there and looking healthy, but I think if the weather stays good I may just pack the propagator away for the summer.
Maybe next year I'll have more success by sowing them early. At least I have some seedlings coming in April, so I may still be able to harvest some home-grown aubergines!
