Seedlings Update

Over the weekend I thinned out my bean, radish and beetroot seedlings into larger more permanent containers as they'd all reached the '2nd-leaf' stage.

I'm so excited at the progress they are making, and can't believe how quickly they are growing! I took this photo yesterday, and when I checked them this morning, the beans (bottom) were already standing upright displaying 2 open leaves!

I actually bought these containers from Kmart for $2 each, including the trays! I put a thin layer of styrofoam in the bottom of each planter to assist with drainage, and as I was using old soil from some pots I had, I made sure to add blood and bone to give the nutrients the seedling will need. (Make sure to follow the directions for amounts on the packet!).

Once planted, give them a good water and leave them in a nice sunny spot.

My spinach seeds are also growing well..... and will need potting out soon.

And I can even see pea and sweet pea seedlings starting to push through! (No photo yet!)
