seedlings!

A few pictures- early ones are from a week ago now. Tiny plants cheer me. The little collards are my favorites, I just find their rounded leaves so charming. First one up:

More soon followed:

They're a bit leggy because spent several days in a window instead of the coldhouse

Kale on the left, collards on the right-

Lettuces sprouted only a day or so after sowing the trays but I didn't check on them soon enough, so they emerged under the lid and were bent-

However every single lettuce seed germinated, so it doesn't matter at all if I loose a few

You can see the one that came up later, in center, hugs the soil nicely- because it emerged straight into the light of the coldhouse.

No matter- they're starting to show first true leaves; soon enough I can move them into pots and bury the exposed stems

I've also got Dill-

Leeks-

Sweet peas-

Leaf beet chard-

and Amaranth- although these are struggling. I think it's too cold yet for the amaranth, will group them in my second or third sowing next time.
