Checked my seed trays this morning and they had a fine coat of grey mould on them, like frost! I searched online and the advice was that it's normal but indicates the compost is too damp, which makes sense since it was very warm yesterday and the propagator lids were covered in condensation. I've left off the lids so the compost can dry out a bit, and am keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't affect the seeds. Oddly enough my home-made compost was not affected, and the lettuce in there is all sprouting
Out in the garden I took the Thermacrop cover off the winter bed as the garlic is getting quite tall, and moved it over to the next bed after planting out my broad beans seedlings. I also planted a few sweet peas in places where they can climb - but away from where I'm growing edible peas, since they're mildly poisonous.
