Last Thursday I finally got around to planting some seeds for my winter vegies. My past history with seeds hasn't been very good but I am now determined to do this well to a)save money and b)plan for succession planting so that I don't have a whole seedling punnet of vegies ready at once and then nothing! My current plan is to try to plant a few seeds every 2-4 weeks or so. Each time I'm trying to only plant about 4 or so of each except for the beetroot and spring onions.
To help I've got these in the living room under a window and I am spraying them with a water bottle to keep them moist.
When the first seed popped it's head out of the soil I was pretty excited - it's working! They're alive!

| The first seed to come through was a broccoli after only 3 days. |
Here is the progress 5 days on
 |
| Spring onions |
 |
| Brussel Sprouts and Kale |
 |
| Spinach - no action yet |
 |
| Beetroot - the colour is awesome! |
 |
| Broccoli and cauliflowers |
I also have pea and snow peas sprouting on moist paper towel after having soaked them for 24hrs
Yum!
