Planted Garlic 'Solent Wight' cloves

Today I planted the following in the Greenhouse:

- 14 x Garlic 'Solent' cloves into 9cm square pots filled with a mix of Westland Jack's Magic Compost and Vermiculite. These have been placed in the unheated Greenhouse.

The Garlic 'Lautrec Wight' and Garlic 'Early Purple Wight' cloves appear to be growing along nicely as well as the Shallot 'Jermor' sets. The Leek 'Musselburgh' seedlings appear to be coming up very slowly which may be due to the cold weather we have had of late. The Sweet pepper 'California Wonder' seeds appear to have now germinated with 2 sweet pepper seedlings in the heated propagator at present. At present none of the Celery 'Marine', Shallot 'Zebrune' or Shallot 'Simiane F1 Hybrid' seeds have germinated. More of the Onion 'Alisa Craig', 'Bedfordshire Champion' and 'Exhibition' seeds have germinated and these onion seedlings will need pricking out to give more room in the propagator.
