| Pricking Out The Seedlings |
The pricking out of the seedlings began last week and continued today. Sown last month, see blog entry for 9th March 'It's Seed Sowing Time!', the seeds have been germinating and growing quickly and, with over fifty pots of seeds having been sown, there are still plenty of seedlings to be pricked out. Working their way through the pots Simon and Peter choose the largest, strongest seedlings and, holding on to the seed leaves, use a dibber (or the tip of a plant label) to gently ease them from the compost. Depending on their size, the seedlings are planted in to either individual small pots or cellular seed trays filled with compost, then placed out on to the greenhouse staging and watered in. Three quarters of the pots have now been pricked out, the rest will be completed next week.
