My kitchen window sill has now become the seed growing spot. I see them every morning and throughout the day, so realised that is their best chance of light every day, and general survival. After planting out the peppers, I started carrots at the at the same time as the broccoli and they finally started, its taken a week for these seeds to get going at all, but within a day of them showing signs of pushing through, we have more. It is on! 🥕

Hopefully they will all make it and by the time they need repotting I may have upgraded some others. Although they do all the hard work by growing, there is much to do to give them the best conditions to do that in.

It’s growing companions on the sill for now are a slow starting pepper which was planted at the same time as the others, and some mixed leaf lettuce which appears to be coming along nicely. It will just be a mission to keep this for me, slugs have always been my memsis for growing salad so fingers crossed this year I find a natural way to keep them away.
