Moon phase: Week 4 (waning)
Checked on my seedlings today, and they are mostly coming along nicely.
The onion trial trays are germinating at a good rate, with the first seedlings showing at around 14 days and many modules having 80-100% germination after 21 days. The one-week-old tray is obviously not showing anything yet!
All the germinated onions have gone into the cage so that the cats don't nibble them, and I'm going to start hardening the oldest tray off next weekend when the New Moon comes round again.
The spring onions have been more variable: "Crimson Forest" has done very well, but the "Ramrod" not so much, perhaps because the packet was a bit old.
Elsewhere, a couple of broad beans are poking above the compost. No show yet from the celeriac, and only one "chitted" parsnip seed has a root. A couple have gone mouldy (too warm? too damp?), so I think a re-sowing straight into compost may be required after the next Full Moon.
