The seeds that I planted into punnets about 3  weeks ago are coming along nicely. The tomatoes, cucumber, zucchini, eggplant and capsicum have all germinated. The salvia, sage, marigolds and chives aren’t doing so well- no action as yet. I think perhaps it isn’t getting hot enough in the greenhouse for them.

I have also had leaves from new plants go “missing” a few days after germination- especially the rudbeckia seedlings. This is super annoying, and whatever is  doing it is leaving very few clues behind!! I decided today to move the punnets out of the greenhouse and onto the sunniest part of our back deck. I’m hoping this will help the remaining seeds to germinate, and will remove the seedlings from whatever keeps attacking them in the greenhouse.

A few of the seedlings are at a stage that I can transplant them to the vegetable patch over the next few days. So, in preparation I marked out where they are going to go (according to plan), topped up with some extra compost and hammered in some stakes for the plants that need them (like tomatoes).
