Raising seeds inside


My lovely gardening friend Barbara gave me a big selection of her seeds for this year. To give them the best start in early spring, she suggested leaving the seed tray on top of the fridge. Which would have been a good idea, if my fridge was clutter free. So instead I've put them next to my desk, which is always reliably warm as I sit there too. The food cover is to stop one of my cats from deciding it is a perfect cat litter tray.


And under the cover, still quite tiny, I have lettuces, capsicums and chillis, basil, and cucumber. When they get a bit bigger I'll put the whole tray outside to harden them off, so they don't kark it straight in the garden. Or I think that is the theory. I did actually put a couple of the cucumbers straight into the garden - the holes you can see here - but one of them didn't make it, so maybe the theory is right?
