[I took stock of what has germinated, what's growing well and realised I need a whole lot more tomatoes, and lots more of everything really. My sowing early experiment is a success though, which will help me space out my sowings in future years. I might just need another grow light or two.

Some seeds didn't germinate at all, and I sowed quite a few of them, so I've put them on a heat mat. The mat was hidden in lots of other stuff we hadn't unpacked, and I'm so pleased to be able to put it to good use.

Sown the last of my March sowing flowers.
