My first attempt of #opuntia (cactus fig) seems to turn out results. 2 seedlings out of 10 seeds (sown 15 Feb) is not great, but it is early days.

The tender plants are still under LEDs in the utility room. The surrounding aluminium foil reflects the light for the plants.

Chillies, aubergines (eggplants) and bell peppers (capsicum) sown 15 Feb look fine.

Unsurprisingly, globe artichoke seeds best before 1 2013 did not produce anything - so far. 🙂

Another stack of euroboxes with #SeedTrays is on the way in the utility room (cabbages, asparagus and annual flowers).
The mid-February predecessors (onions, leeks, cauliflower, claytonia, kohlrabi, salad crops) made it to the greenhouse and spend the cold nights under fleece.
Broad beans needed heat mats.
The #WildGarlic under the workbench is almost there.

The #chitting potatoes are my insurance for an experiment with planting potatoes in autumn.
