Sowed Celery 'Marine', Shallot 'Zebrune' and Shallot 'Simiane F1 Hybrid' seeds

Today I sowed the following into the Greenhouse:

- Celery 'Marine' seeds into a 11cm square pot in a mixture of Westland Jack's Magic Multipurpose compost and vermiculite. I have put a sprinkling of vermiculite on top of the compost once sowing the seeds. I then placed this into a heated propagator.
- Shallot 'Zebrune' seeds into a half seed tray filled with Levington John Innes Seed compost. This has then been placed into a heated propagator.
- Shallot 'Simiane F1 Hybrid' seeds into a half seed tray filled with Levington John Innes Seed compost. This has then been placed into a heated propagator.

The Sweet Pepper 'California Wonder' seeds which were sown on 26th December 2015 have finally started to germinate. The Onion 'Ailsa Craig', 'Bedfordshire Champion', 'Exhibition' and 'The Kelsae' seedlings appear as if they need to be pricked out quite soon. The onion set's still need to be planted at some point in the foreseeable future. The Leek 'Musselburgh' seeds appear to be starting to germinate but currently there is no growth on the Shallot 'Jermor' sets.
