Last Sunday I sowed the very first seeds of the new season and placed them under the growing light in a spare room upstairs.
Things have moved on and now the onion seeds are germinating well.
When I was taking a photo of the above seedlings, I noticed that things were also happening in the trays containing the celeriac and celery. Of the two the celeriac is slightly behind with four tiny seedlings having germinated. Although there are a few more celery seedlings they are just too teeny to photograph.
Not much to look at I know but it's a symbolic start to our 2013 gardening year.

It's always exciting when the first seeds of the season poke through.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is, Jo
DeleteExciting times Sue :) Spring is almost here and thats one of the first signs :)
ReplyDeleteHope my Celeriac comes up too, problem is the last time I grew it I just got loads of leaves and no bulb:(
Linda
Exactly the same happened to us Linda both celeriac and celery grew leaves and nothing else. If at first we don't succeed etc.
DeleteBrilliant! A little bit of sunshine now and we're raring to go!!
ReplyDeleteSunshine would be really welcome, Belinda
DeleteI'm waiting for my onions to germinate :)
ReplyDeleteAre they outside Dewberry as ours have the warmth of the house to help them along
DeleteI 'experienced' sun today! So, the seed packets are coming out and the fun can begin! Take care. Chel
ReplyDeleteSo did we Chel - we had a day in Wensleydale and there is still snow on high ground there
DeleteYou are an Evil Temptress, I may just call you Mrs ET from now on {giggle}. I am trying very hard to sit on my hands and NOT start sowing too early this year but it's hard [whine whine], very hard!
ReplyDeleteBut only exceptional things Bilbo - that need a long long growing season
DeleteI love the celery or is it celeriac shot - amazing how they come up through the soil.
ReplyDeleteLots more up today Liz - once they have started the race is on for more seedlings to pop up
DeleteOnion seedlings emerging always remind me of paperclips!
ReplyDeleteI see what you mean, Mark,
DeleteBrilliant!! I'm just waiting on my seeds coming through. It's so exciting isn't it! My monster leeks have been potted on but don't seem to be progressing too much as yet. lettuce is really looking good though now.. Roll on good weather (if we get some ;) !!
ReplyDeleteIt is exciting Anna, amazing that those tiny blades of grass will provide a food source. Notice here I refer just to the onions as if we have anything to eat from the celery and it's cousin I'll be amazed.
DeleteI really need to start doing something to mek me feel as if the weather is improving...I have plans in my head...I just need the weather to get them going!!
ReplyDeleteThe weather isn't very co-operative at the moment is it Tanya. Let's hope after a slow start we have a good summer with rain when we need it preferably during the night and some warmth and sunshine but nor too hot! Maybe if we all wish hard!
