I started off a pile of seeds a few weeks ago and they are now starting to look like proper seedlings! I'll put pictures up of them later but for now I wanted to show what I've been planting them in.
This is the style of pot that Wasabi restaurants use to sell their soya beans in. They are perfect for starting plants from seed. The plastic cover acts as a mini-greenhouse, and they are just the right size for getting around 8 seeds planted!
We have red onions, spring onions, leeks, aubergines, carrots, peas and sunflowers started this way. The peas and sunflowers are huge and are hardening off in our freezing cold kitchen before we put them in the greenhouse for the final hardening off. After a few weeks there they should hopefully be ready for planting in the real world!
