2022 - What I did today

I thought we were over the cold nights snap, but no they're coming back next week. All the plants on the windowsill are getting too leggy, they've got reasonable one sided light and a radiator underneath so are growing away. They need more light and less heat. To this end I thought to set up the third (!) heated prop, it will be cheaper in the long run than heating the whole gh. Unfortunately the third one isn't thermostatically controlled and runs rather warm. So it's shuffling things round to their optimum growing conditions in anticipation of freezing temps by next week. Potted on toms Jens tangerine and Alicante.

You may remember I was disappointed at the germination rate of the saved manky bijou peas. Well I planted those that chitted initially then bunged the box with the dud ones in a corner of the gh and forgot about them. I looked in the box yesterday and found it full of shoots. Out of about 60 seeds only 4 had failed. So they got potted up, although some root tips looked a little frosted from the freezing nights we've had, so I'm not holding my breath they'll all grow. Just goes to show you should never give up
